Lumle is a town and Annapurna Rural Municipality, Kaski Kaski District in the Gandaki Zone of northern-central Nepal.[clarification needed] At the 1991 Nepal census, it had a population of 4,685 persons in 955 individual households.[1]
Lumle is well known for its agricultural centre on a hillside above the village founded in 1968 to train British Gurkha ex-servicemen farmers.
