Gorkha is an interesting town midway between Kathmandu and Pokhara. The surrounding area is fantastic. Gorkha is 25km north of the road between Pokharaand Kathmandu. There are some interesting walks in the area. Not many tourists visit here. Prithvi Narayan Shah became the king of Gorkha in 1743 and two years later started a 25-year campaign to eventually take over the Kathmandu Valley and the rest of Nepal. After conquering Kathmandu Valley in 1769, Prithvi Narayan Shah moved the capital of Nepal to Kathmandu. By the beginning of the 18th century Gorkha had become a minor town. The main thing to visit here is the interesting Gorkha Durbar.
