Nepal 1814: The Forgotten Hero Kalu Pande and Gorkha's Early Wars

7 min•23 juli 2026

The Gorkha conquest of the Kathmandu Valley is one of the great origin stories of modern Nepal. But long before Prithvi Narayan Shah's final victory, there was Kalu Pande—his brilliant, loyal general who strategized the early campaigns and fell at Kirtipur. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Kalu Pande's role, his military innovations, and how his death shaped the Gorkha cause. They also discuss the Battle of Nuwakot (1744), the first siege of Kirtipur (1757), and the shadowy politics of the Malla kingdoms. A story of sacrifice, strategy, and the human cost of empire-building in the Himalayas.
