    History

    Built in the early 19th century, the Gurkha Fort stands as a testament to the Gurkha warriors' presence in the region. The fort played a crucial role during the Anglo-Gurkha War, serving as a strategic stronghold. It witnessed fierce battles between the British forces and the Gurkha soldiers, who were renowned for their bravery and fighting skills. Despite their valiant efforts, the Gurkhas eventually lost control of the fort to the British. Over time, the fort fell into disrepair, but its historical importance remains intact. Today, it serves as a reminder of the conflicts and the courage displayed during that era.
