Today, Nepal observes Tamu Lhosar, the New Year of the Gurung community, which is also recognized as a public holiday. Celebrations are taking place across the country, particularly in Gurung-populated districts such as Lamjung, Gorkha, and Parbat.
The day is marked with traditional music, dance, and cultural programs, as families and communities come together to honor their heritage. Government offices, schools, and many businesses remain closed in observance of the holiday. Leaders and officials, including the Prime Minister, have extended greetings to the Gurung community, emphasizing Nepal’s cultural diversity and unity.
Tamu Lhosar serves as both a cultural celebration and an opportunity to promote tourism, with several local festivals attracting visitors from around the country.
