Yolmo Kanchis JPG by JPG
Yolmowa or simply Yolmo are the aboriginal people of Helambu region, which comprises the
Northwest part of Sindhupalchok, Northeast part of Nuwakot and Southeast part of Rasuwa
districts. The Yolmo migrated over the Himalaya Mountains from the Tibet in the mid-19th Century.
The name, Yolmo, has been derived by two words Yol (high area surrounded by mountains)
and Mo (goddess). Like the other inhabitants of the northern region, the culture and identity of
Yolmo indigenous people are derived from Tibetan language and culture.
Yolmo dialect belongs to the Tibeto-burman language and they use Ume script, which is widely
used in their religious books. The Tibetan people also use the same script.
Yolmopa or simply Yolmo people as they are known and confined to the only region except for
the small groups of emigrants who have settled elsewhere in and outside the country. Considerable numbers of Yolmo indigenous people are residing in Kathmandu, Kaski, Chitawan, Lamjung, Illam, Ramechhap and Gorkha districts.
