Kuchi People

Kuchi People

Kuchis (from the Persian word: کوچ koch; meaning "migration") are Afghan Pashtun nomads, primarily from the Ghilzai tribal confederacy. Some of the most notable Ghilzai Kuchi tribes include the Kharoti, Andar and Ahmadzai. Sometimes Durrani tribes can be found among the Kuchi, and occasionally there may also be some Baloch people among them that live a pastoral nomadic lifestyle. In the local native Pashto language, the terms are Kochai (singular) and Kuchiyan (plural).
