Rautes are ethnic group of Nepal who have been preserving their cultural identities for  many years. They live approxmately one month in a particular place and leave for the next place espcially forest area of Nepal. They make such temporary homes around the forest. If any Raute of the member faces the fatal distrubance, they immediately move to the next place. Nowadays, Rautes live in the mid-western part of Nepal.

Rautes have been bartering their wooden products with that of the different crops in the nearby villages for years. Unfortunately, their wooden products have gradually been replaced by the plastics and other foreign products. So this endeavor attempts to provide the Rautes for their basics by selling their wooden products.

These are the special products of the Rautes which only these nomadic tribal people can manufacture. They don't use any kind of modern tools but only apply the traditional instruments like long and short handled axes, large and small adzes, and long chisel as the primary tools in order to make these manufactured goods

The livelihood of the Rautes is directly linked with these products because they don't engage themselves in agriculture neither work for remuneration. They don't even wander in the city in search of lucrative jobs. This skilled tribal community has been maintaining their mode of life by selling their aptitude in wooden products.
