Khalanga War Memorial, War memorial in Dehradun district, India.
The Khalanga War Memorial features two obelisks commemorating both British forces and Gorkha soldiers along Sahastradhara Road in Dehradun.
During the 1814 Battle of Nalapani, 600 Gorkha soldiers defended Khalanga Fort against 3,000 British troops for six weeks without food or water.
The annual Khalanga Mela in November brings together residents to honor Gorkha military traditions and share their regional customs.
The Archaeological Survey of India maintains this memorial, which remains open to visitors from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM with an entry fee of 48 rupees.
This memorial stands as the sole instance where British forces constructed a monument to honor their opponents after a military conflict.
