The Gurung people, also called Tamu, are an ethnic group from different parts of Nepal.
Priestly practitioners of Gurung Dharma include lamas, ghyabri (klehpri), and pachyu (paju). Shamanistic elements among the Gurungs remain strong and most Gurungs often embrace Buddhist and Bön rituals in all communal activities.
