The wanderings imposed on pastoralists by the necessities of forage and water tend to be cyclical and to follow long-established routes. The cycles are usually seasonal : to the lowlands in winter, to highlands in summer in temperate zones, to more arid areas in the wet season, to more watered regions in the dry season, and so on. [Anthropologists] call such established cyclical movements "transhumance orbits". 1, record 3, English, - transhumance%20orbit
