There are many different tribes in Nepal, ethnic groups most of the Tibeto-Nepalese groups—the Tamang, Rai, Limbu, Bhutia (including the Sherpa), and Sunwar—live in the north and east, while the Magar and Gurung inhabit west-central Nepal. The Nepali community is composed of different sub-cultural stocks with considerable differences in physical characteristic and customs. Each tribe has their own tradition and customs. The majority of the famous Gurkha contingents in the British army have come from the Magar, Gurung, and Rai groups.
