BOTEY

Boteys  are distinctly a different group of people in spite of their proximity in culture and social behavior with such groups of people like Danuwars, Darais or Majhis. Some Boteys live on fishing and others are dependent on agriculture. They are termed differently as Pani (water) Boteys and Pakhe (land) Boteys by their professions. They inhabit the banks of the Madi, Seti and Kali Gandaki rivers of Tanahu and Kaski districts. They have their own language and different religious practices.
