Gorkha is the foundation of Nepal. It is the home to the bravest-of-the-brave troops in the world, Gurkha. From the Gorkha only, the vision of present-day Nepal was sketched by the first king of the modern Nepal. Before that, Nepal was divided into small kingdoms until when Prithvi Narayan Shah, the first king of (modern) Nepal had the vision to unite small kingdoms into a singular strength to build a wall against the rising force from the East, East India Company.
Gorkha holds the history of the country. The Gorkha Durbar (Palace), which is built on the hilltop above the market below, is the finest example of architectural and war-strategy of the past. From the palace, one can see the 360-degree view of the Gorkha village, which makes the palace as a vantage point, for now, but it was a strategy to protect the royal families from the invading armies, in the past.
Gorkha is mostly populated by the Gurung tribesmen, who have earned enough praise in the both World Wars, including Victoria Cross. However, despite their fierce attitude in the battlefield, they are friendly people with a tradition of genuine hospitality. Around Gorkha, one may hike to a jungle and enjoy watching hunters collecting wild honey. Honey Hunters of Nepal, a documentary from Diane Summers and Eric Valli did their famous art of work, photography and video, in Gorkha, only. - Gorkha Museum - Visit Gorkha Museum

Gorkha serves as the cornerstone of Nepal, renowned for its valiant Gurkha warriors. The blueprint of contemporary Nepal finds its roots in Gorkha, conceived by the pioneer of modern Nepal. Prior to this era, Nepal was fragmented into several diminutive kingdoms until Prithvi Narayan Shah, the inaugural monarch of contemporary Nepal, envisioned a unified national strength to combat the emerging East India Company. Gurung tribesmen mainly populate Gorkha, who have been acknowledged for their courage during both World Wars with recognition like the Victoria Cross. Despite their fierce demeanor on the battlefield, they are warm-hearted people known for their authentic hospitality. In Gorkha, one could take a trek through the forests to observe the honey collectors at work. Gorkha was the landscape where Diane Summers and Eric Valli filmed their renowned documentary, ‘Honey Hunters of Nepal’.
