Despite its natural beauty, historical and religious importance, diverse culture, very close from the capital city Kathmandu and other important touristic destinations Pokhara and Chitwan, tourism in Gorkha could not have been developed expressively. Gorkha was the epicenter of 7.8 earthquake on April 25, 2015 in Nepal that damaged or destroyed the tourism products and tourism activities were largely affected. Tourism is an expanding worldwide phenomenon, and has been observed that by the next century, tourism will be the single largest industry in the world.

  • Where Lies the Original Source of Ganges
    Where lies the original source of Ganges Ganges River or the Ganga River flowing through the vast country of India, is the most revered among the Indian rivers. The river has major contribution towards the sustenance of life in the great Indian plains. However, the significant journey of the Ganga begins from Gangotri, which is regarded as the original source of origin of the river Ganges. A famous story about the birth of the Ganges is found mentioned in the Indian mythology. It is narrated that King Bhagirath prayed to Lord Shiva and his desire was granted that Goddess Ganga would flow on earth to endow life to his expired antecedents. It is believed that Ganges River is entangled in Lord Shiva’s locks, to save the earth from devastation. Gomukh, situated close to the Gangotri glacier looks similar to a cow’s head and surprisingly, the river flows down with immense velocity through this natural structure. Due to its immense significance to Hinduism, Gangotri is one of the most renowned pilgrimage spots in India, attracting bulk of tourists. Gangotri is admired for handful of tourists’ spots, which are as follow: Gangotri Glacier: Located in the Uttarkashi district in the northern Indian state of Uttarkhand, adjacent to the boundary of China, Gangotri Glacier is regarded as a noteworthy pilgrimage location for the Hindu disciples who visit this place to take a dip in the holy water near the glacier. The Bhagirathi River happened to be originated from the Gangotri glacier. The glacier measures 30 kilometers in length and is between 2 to 4 kilometers wide.

  • Kangra, Sirmaur, and Gorkha Rule in the West
    2 Alterity and Myth in Himalayan Historiography : Kangra, Sirmaur, and Gorkha Rule in the West The decades between the Battle of Chinjhiar (1795) and the beginning of British rule (1815) mark the definitive transition of the West Himalayan kingdoms to modernity. As the warring parties at Chinjhiar resumed their individual courses, the geopolitical landscape that surrounded them underwent momentous shifts that would dramatically impact their trajectories: the EIC’s conquest of Delhi (in 1803) introduced the British as the major powerbroker south of the Sutlej River; Sikh unification under Maharaja Ranjit Singh Sandhawalia (r. 1799-1839) gradually absorbed the kingdoms north of the river into the Empire of Lahore; and the expansionist drive of Nepal under the Gorkha Shah dynasty (est. ~1559, r. c. 1768/9-2008) cast shadows over the entire region from as early as the 1790s, when the fledgling empire first crossed the Mahakali River into Kumaon. By 1803, the Gorkhas had invaded Sirmaur, traversed Bilaspur, and laid siege to Kangra. Six years later (1809), the Gorkhas quit Kangra and entrenched their hold on the hills south of the Sutlej for another five years, at which point (1814) they ceded their possessions west of the Mahakali to the EIC following defeat in the Anglo-Gorkha War (1814-16).1 While the politically fragmented elite of the West Himalayan kingdoms tackled these transitions in starkly divergent ways – Kangra as a vassal of Lahore, Sirmaur and its neighbours as EIC allies, and Bilaspur somewhere in between – its experiences of this era assumed a largely uniform narrative that became foundational to the reinterpretation of Pahari Rajput kingship and polity in the modern era.

  • What Is Sugauli Treaty ?*
    AIMSA Collection For study What is Sugauli Treaty ?* Buddhi Narayan Shrestha** 1. Background: The border treaty signed between the then government of East India Company and Nepal on March 4, 1816 is known as the Sugauli Treaty. The result of the treaty was that Nepal lost almost one-third of its territory on the east, south and west. Students of history know it well why and how the treaty took place. But it would be beneficial for others as well to know the historical background of the country. Late King Prithvi Narayan Shah unified the small fiefdoms / principalities and created a big and powerful Nepal. His descendents continued with the unification and expansion of the country. The East India Company government could not bear Nepal spreading out and becoming stronger. So, they resorted to trickery and deceit in the battles of Nalapani, Jaithak and Makawanpur to defeat the Gorkhalis and forced Nepal to counter-sign in the Sugauli Treaty. 2. Unequal Treaty: Sugauli Treaty is known as an unequal treaty. Because any treaty is meant to give both the sides more or less equal or equitable benefits even if one side get a little more benefit and the other a little less. But Nepal suffered only losses because of the treaty while the British India gained a huge territorial advantage. The British got the facilities of corridor in the east and in the west, also it got all the facilities and benefits. No provision of facility and concession was made for Nepal. The territory of Nepal that had been unified and expanded to Teesta in the east, Kangara Fort in the West and nearly to the confluence of Ganga and Jamuna in the south, was curbed on all the three sides.

  • The Kukri (Khukuri) Knife of the Gurkhas; a Historical Description 1793-­‐ 2014
    GURKHA ANTIQUES & SIRKUKRI. The Kukri (Khukuri) Knife of the Gurkhas; A Historical description 1793-­‐ 2014. Intro -­‐ The Kukri knife, also written as Khukuri, Khukri, Khookree, Kookeri, Kukoori, Koorkerie, Kookery, Kukery, Koukoori, Khokreis, Cookri, Gurkha Knife and other variations, takes its name from the Nepali word खुकुरी " " . This dagger-­‐knife is today world famous and known f as the Symbol o the Gurkhas, National weapon Nepal of and a most excellent knife with a long and ancient history. Ive used the term "Kukri" over the more proper "Khukuri" as it is probably a wider used word and thus more familiar to the reader. This article/post is the result of an attempt to collect information from various authors and written sources over the last 221 years (1793 -­‐ 2014) in regards to what has been written about the Kukri knife. Wikipedia gives the following statement (January, 2014): "The Kukri or Khukuri (Nepali: खुकुरी)) is a Nepalese knife with an inwardly curved edge, used as both a tool and as a weapon in Nepal. Traditionally it was, and in many cases still is, the basic utility knife of the Nepalese people. It is a characteristic weapon of the Nepalese Army, the Royal Gurkha Rifles and of all Gurkha regiments throughout the world, so much that many English-­‐ 1 speakers refer to the weapon as a "Gurkha blade" or "Gurkha knife". The kukri often appears in Nepalese heraldry and is used in many traditional rituals such as wedding ceremonies." Objective: My general focus has been on how the Kukri has been described in various times by various authors.
