Their major settlements are usually within proximity of the Kathmandu Valley. The migration happened several hundred years ago. They have retained a distinct identity with Tibetan roots, as well as their language. They have historically been one of the most marginalized ethnic groups in Nepal. Sadly, they were among the worst-affected groups during the 2015 mega-earthquake, as their homes tended to be in vulnerable areas cut off from help.
