Images from Michael Benanav's journey with the Van Gujjars of Northern India.

by Reuters

   Michael Benanav has traveled around much of the world, chronicling in
   words and pictures nomadic communities from Mali, to Jordan to
   Mongolia. But when the photographer heard about the Van Gujjar tribe of
   Northern India, he knew he wanted to do more than just document their
   existence. He wanted to join them on a migration to better understand
   their nomadic way of life and culture.
