A focused population profile of Gurung, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Gurung is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Gurung with other modern populations in the database.
The label should be read as a population reference name rather than a complete description of every individual, family, language, region, or community history connected with Gurung.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Gurung is Tamang Tashinam. Other nearby references include Rai, Sherpa Rolwaling Himal, Sherpa Khumbu, and Sherpa West Bengal. This gives the Gurung profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Gurung average. It should be read as a model of deep ancestry components, while the closest-match table is the better guide to which modern populations are most similar in G25 space.
The heatmap gives the Gurung profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Gurung average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Tamang Tashinam. Other nearby references include Rai, Sherpa Rolwaling Himal, Sherpa Khumbu, and Sherpa West Bengal.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Tamang Tashinam is the closest listed match to the Gurung average after removing Gurung itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Gurung G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
