Gorkha, which is located 140 km west of Kathmandu, holds ancestral significance for Nepal’s ruling royal family. If you plan on traveling from Kathmandu to Pokhara, consider spending a night in Gorkha. This will not only help break up the long drive, but also provide a more relaxing and enjoyable trip. Additionally, optimizing your travel route with a stop in Gorkha can enhance your overall experience.
Main attraction is Gorkha durbar (palace of king Prithivi Bir Bikram shah).
