Temporary shelters are a significant part of the lives of nomads who keep changing their location of residence from time to time. Temporary shelters are also useful in times of crisis or emergency when only the basic needs of an individual need to be taken care of.
Pukka houses are houses made of sustainable material like stone, timber or brick and mortar. They are unmovable, that is, they are fixed at the place where they are built. Pukka house is a form of permanent shelter. The designs are solid. Pukka houses are mostly found in urban areas.
Tents are portable forms of shelter made out of cloth of special fibre, mostly water and heat resistant in modern times. They are supported and spread out by the help of poles and are used extensively by adventure enthusiasts and campers.
A caravan by definition is a vehicle suitable for living in which is typically towed by a truck or a car. The moving houses of nomads with wheels are called caravans.
