The 2021 Nepal Census does not publish standalone population figures for former Village Development Committees (VDCs) like Gumchal. After Nepal’s administrative restructuring in 2017, Gumchal and several neighboring VDCs (Wardachaur, Harjang, Pang, and Shirp) were merged into Lugri Rural Municipality, now Ward‑level units under that municipality.
According to the 2021 census, Lugri Rural Municipality, which includes Gumchal, had:
- Population: 26,539
- Households: 5,486
- Comprised of seven wards including the former Gumchal area
