Looking
at
the
history
of Nepal,
Gorkha
is
a
historic
place
where
King
Prithvi
Narayan
Shah
was
born,
who
ultimately
unified
Nepal
as
one.
Apart
from
the
historical
importance
of
this
place,
Gorkha
has
developed
in
recent
years
as
a
trekking
hub.
Apart
from
the
glorious
range
of
the
beautiful
Himalayas,
rich
biodiversity,
varied
topography,
and
distinctive
culture
and
tradition,
Nepal
is
known
around
the
world
as
the
home
of
the
brave
and
legendary
Gurkhas.
And
the
title
"brave
Gurkhas"
was
derived
from
the
Gorkha,
as
the
majority
of
the
soldiers
during
the
wars
were
from
Gorkha.
Gorkha
is
the
birthplace
of
Prithvi
Narayan
Shah,
who
conquered
and
joined
the
small
states
to
make
one
large
nation,
as
well
as
the
home
of
the
legendary
Gurkhas.
Let
us
know
more
about
this
sensational
place,
Nepal.
It
won’t
be
wrong
if
we
call
Gorkha
the
foundation
of
Nepal.
It
was
from
the
Gorkha
that
the
first
king
of
Nepal,
King
Prithivi
Narayan
Shah,
envisioned
the
vision
of
today's
Nepal.
Along
with
its
historical
essence,
Gorkha
is
also
one
of
the
most
beautiful
places
and
has
several
of
the
finest
architectural
examples.
From
Gorkha,
you
can
witness
stunning
mountain
views,
green
hills
with
lush
forest,
and
gorgeous
rivers
running
down
from
the
mountain.
Gorkha
is
a
historic
place
in
Nepal.
Its
palace
is
located
at
the
top
of
a
hill
and
has
the
finest
use
of
architecture.
The
location
of
the
palace
was
chosen
on
the
hilltop
as
a
war
strategy
as
well
as
to
protect
the
royal
families
from
the
armies
of
the
enemy.
One
can
see
the
mesmerizing
view
all
around
from
the
top.
In
Gorkha,
there
is
mostly
the
Gurung
ethnic
group,
which
has
earned
praise
and
respect
for
their
bravery
as
brave
Gurkhas
in
both
world
wars.
Some
of
them
have
also
earned
the
Victoria
Cross,
which
is
the
highest
award
in
the
British
honors
system.
No
doubt
they
have
a
very
strict
and
fierce
attitude
on
the
battlefield,
but
they
are
Nepalis
after
all,
and
they
are
very
amiable
people
who
will
warmly
welcome
you
with
a
great
deal
of
hospitality.
You
can
also
go
hiking
around
the
Gorkha,
through
the
lush
jungle,
and
enjoy
the
views.
While
passing
through
the
distinctive
villages
and
ancient
temples
with
excellent
artwork,
you
may
come
across
honey
hunters
collecting
honey
from
wild
bees.
Also,
Manaslu
Circuit
Trek
lies
in
Gorkha
district,
which
will
give
them
an
opportunity
to
witness
the
classic,
historical,
and
cultural
town.
