nights Gorkha Village Tour (GORKHA4-N):
Gorkha
hill town is situated an altitude of 1135m, about 145 km west
of Kathmandu valley and 60 km east of Pokhara. Around 300 years
ago, Nepal was divided in to 50 tiny states, and Gorkha was one
of them. Later, the king of Shaha Dynasty, King Prithivi Narayan
Shaha unified states into one kingdom.
The king had made his palace on the top of a hill that the king
would watch-over his people as far as his eyes could see from
the tallest hill.
Gorkha is also the home of Gurkhas, they fought with knives against
guns.
Gorkha palace is the main attraction, an hour steep of 1700s
steps walk up a hill. The palace was built in the Newari Style
of Kathmandu. Apart from the palace, there is Kali Temple, which
is dedicated to the goddess Kali, the destructive incarnation
of Parvati. During the ceremony, many animals are sacrificed
and rituals take place in the courtyard in front of the temple.
Within the palace is the sacred Taleju temple of the king's family.
In southern part of the palace, there is a religious cave of
lord Gorakhanath.
If the weather is clear, you can see spectacular view of Mt.
Manaslu, Himchuli as well as panoramic view of the green valleys
around the Gorkha. |
