Gurungs of Nepal, living mainly on the southern flank of the Annapürna mountain massif, are natives of the village of Ghanpokara in Lamjung. A traditional warrior tribe that is deeply entrenched inthe history of the valley, the Gurungs have made their home in Lamjung and its soil.

Ganga Jung Gurung, Headmaster of the primary school at Lamjung District, has read the landscape to produce Nepal's finest Specialty Coffee in the region. His entire family, dedicated to cultivating coffee on their farm, is testament to the strength and resolve of the Gurungs.

Nuwakot, Bagmati, Nepal

The second region is Nuwakot, Bagmati Province in Central Nepal. At the confluence of rivers Trishuli and Tandi lies Nuwakot, a terrain with fertile soil that is the backbone of the specialty coffee movement in Nepal. Ideal for cultivating specialty Arabica, Nuwakot is deeply entrenched in modern Nepali history. Working with smallholder farms in Nuwakot.
