Gorkha is the
birthplace of King Prithvi Narayan Shah- the great, the founder of
modern Nepal. Situated on a hill overlooking the snowy peaks of the
Himalayas, there is a beautiful old palace known as Gorkha Durbar.
There are two attractive temples of Gorakhanth and Kali inside the
palace precinct. Only Hindus are allowed inside the temple of
Gorakhnath. Gorkha can be reached in about six hours from Kathmandu
and four hours from Pokhara .A side trip to Manakamana on the way to
Gorkha is very enjoyable and interesting.
