Gorkha Bazaar

Gorkha Bazaar is primarily a cobbled street market place whereby people from neighboring hill dwellings come to trade. There are a few temples near about, but not much. Yet, it is worth a visit as it provides a very good vista of the quiet charm that soaks a typical hill village of Nepal.

Gorkha Durbar

Gorkha durbar is the main attraction of Gorkha, an hour steep walk up a hill from the bazaar area. It used to be the dwelling of King Prithivi Narayan Shah and his ancestors. The Durbar itself is a humble, yet quite impressive, complex of a temple, fort, and a palace built in the Newar style of Kathmandu. The view of the Himalayan range and the deep valleys from up there is quite breathtaking.

Gorkha Cave

Gorkha cave is ten meters below the palace’s southern side sacred cave temple of Gorkhanath. The cave is carved out of the solid rock and is among the most important religious sites for mainstream Brahmins and Chhetris of Nepal.

Gorkha is also an alternate starting point for a few trekking routes in the region. Gorkha-Trisuli is an easy three-day walk along unspoiled Nepali countryside. One can also walk a long day walk to Besisahar, which is the usual starting point for the Annapurna region. There is also a six-day easy trek to Pokhara where you are unlikely to see any other tourist you need to camp but there are places for provisions along the way and if you have the time it is a great way to get to Pokhara.
