Jit Gadhi, Military fort in Butwal, Nepal

The Jit Gadhi fort includes 13 warrior statues, multiple war paintings, a garden, and defensive fortification walls across its grounds.

Colonel Ujir Singh Thapa commanded Nepali forces at Jit Gadhi fort during a decisive victory against British East India Company troops in the Anglo-Nepalese War.

The fort stands as a symbol of Nepali military excellence, with a dedicated war museum displaying artifacts and documentation from historical battles.

The Nepal Army transferred control of Jit Gadhi Fort to Butwal Sub-metropolitan City in January 2024 to develop it as a tourist destination.

A prominent life-size statue of Colonel Ujir Singh Thapa was installed at the fort in 2019 to commemorate his leadership during the battle.
