The Burusho are a mountain people living primarily in the Hunza valley, but also in the Nagar and Yasin areas, in the Gilgit district of the Northern Areas of Pakistan. They earn their living by combining animal husbandry with the cultivation of crops, vegetables and fruits. Most fields are located on hillsides and require extensive terraces and a complex system of irrigation and drainage.
