Gorkha Municipality
Nepal
Gorkha Municipality in Nepal's Gandaki Province is the birthplace of Prithvi Narayan Shah, the king who unified and founded modern Nepal, and the hilltop Gorkha Durbar palace complex — damaged in the 2015 earthquake but still home to the Gorakhnath shrine and Kalika temple, both open without charge — remains the town's central draw. It also serves as a starting point for trekking routes toward Mount Manaslu and the Ganesh Himal range.
