Gurung, Tibetan, Tamang, Thakali, Chhetri and Sherpa
The Magar, also spelled Mangar and Mongar, are Magar language speaking ethnolinguistic group native to Nepal, representing 6.9% of Nepal's total population according to the 2021 Nepal census.[5]They are one of the main Gurkha tribes.
The first home of the Magars was to the west of the Gandaki River and, roughly speaking, consisted of that portion of Nepal which lies between and around about Gulmi, Arghakhanchi, and Palpa.[6]
This part of the country was divided into twelve districts known as Bahra Magarat (Confederation of Twelve Magar villages), which included the following regions of that period: Argha, Khanchi, Bhirkot, Dhor, Garhung, Ghiring, Gulmi, Isma, Musikot, Rising, Satung, and Pyung.[6]
During the medieval period, the whole area from Palpa to Rukum Rolpa was called the Magarat, a place settled and inhabited by Magars.[7]
Another confederation of eighteen Magar kingdoms, known as Athara Magarat, also existed and was originally inhabited by Kham Magars.
