Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Gaddi Shepherd tribe of Himachal Pradesh also makes their winter home in the low hills of the Siwalik. They moved in cycles based on the seasons. They grazed their flocks in scrubby forests during the winter on the low hills of the Siwalik range. They moved to Lahul and Spiti for the summer in April. Many moved to higher mountain pastures once the snow melted and the high passes were free. They started their return movement in September. They made another halt in the villages of Lahul and Spiti along the trip to reap the summer harvest and plant the winter crop. Then they made their way down to their winter grazing area on the Siwalik hills with their flock.
The correct statement is Gaddi is a shepherd-pastoral community in Himachal Pradesh.
