Gorkha
Gorkha is situated in the western
part of Nepal. The main attraction at Gorkha is the16th century royal palace.
Also of interest is the temple of the most powerful and popular god, Kalika.
This is decorated with ancient art and architecture. Three mountains ranges, the
Manasalu, Annapurna and Ganesh Himal which include more than 40 mountains,
surround the area. Here you can see the culture of the western ethnic groups.
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 Himalaya is a beautiful old palace known
as Gorkha Durbar. There are two attractive temples of Gorakhanth and Kali inside
the place precinct. Gorkha can be reached in about six hours by road from
Kathmandu and four hours from Pokhara. A side trip to Manakamana temple , on the
way to Gorkha is very enjoyable and interesting. The Nepalese believe that
MANAKAMANA Goddess fulfills the wishes of all people and that's one reason why
the temple is visited by the tourist and the locals all through the
year......WHY NOT TRY.
