The majority of Gurung villages are found in the foothills of the Himalayas. The village of Lakpra, Barpak, Bhujung, sikcles, Ghandruk of Gandaki region apparently has a historical significance to the Gurungs. The Gurungs reside among the central hills at elevations ranging from 1,050 to 2,100 meters. Hence, it is only natural for Gurungs to inhabit the Annapurna region.
As mentioned before, it is believed that the Gurung people migrated from North. Their forefathers crossed Himilayan range before entering Nepal through Mustang. They arrived in Nepal before Buddhism spread to Tibet. Their religion combines Animistic rituals and Buddhist beliefs. Provided by Wikipedia
