Ghorkha Palace, Historical palace complex in Gorkha District, Nepal.
The palace structure combines stone and wood elements, featuring multiple levels that rise along the hillside with temples integrated into the complex.
King Prithvi Narayan Shah initiated Nepal's unification from this palace in the 18th century, establishing it as a central point of political power.
The palace grounds contain multiple religious structures where Hindu and Buddhist practices merge, reflecting Nepal's spiritual diversity through architecture and rituals.
Access to Gorkha Palace requires a moderate uphill walk from the main road, with local guides available to explain the historical significance.
The 2015 earthquake caused substantial damage to the palace structure, leading to ongoing restoration work that incorporates traditional building techniques.
