Gorkha is a Historical Place of Nepal
Gorkha, situated at 140km west of Kathmandu at an altitude of
1,135 meter, is the ancestral hometown of the Nepal's ruling royal family.
Gorkha is only 18 km up a paved road of the Pokhara-Kathmandu Highway. A brief
visit on the way to or from Pokhara would provide more insights into Nepal than
one is likely to get at lakeside in Pokhara.
Gorkha's small
town is perhaps the most important historical town of Nepal. From its hilltop
fortess, King Prithvi Narayan Shah, the ninth generation paternal ancestor of
the present King, launched his lifelong attempt to unify the independent states
of Nepal, a wildly ambitious project which succeeded due to his brilliance, and
the effectiveness of his locally recruited troops. The British term
"Gurkha" evolved from the name Gorkha, referring to the famed
fighting soldiers of the region.
