Nepal's 1769 Unification: Prithvi Narayan Shah's Final Campaign

8 min•1 juni 2026

In 1769, after decades of war, King Prithvi Narayan Shah of Gorkha completed his conquest of the Kathmandu Valley. This episode follows the final campaign against the Malla king Jaya Prakash Malla of Kantipur, the betrayal by a Newar minister named Goverdhan, and the fate of the last Malla kings. We explore the strategic siege of the valley, the role of the hill fort of Chandragiri, and the aftermath when Shah moved his capital from Gorkha to Kathmandu. How did a king from a small hill state unite Nepal's fragmented kingdoms? And what did Prithvi Narayan Shah's famous 'Dibya Upadesh' — his divine counsel — reveal about his vision for the new nation? This episode unpacks the final act of Nepal's unification, drawing on Shah's own writings and Newar chronicles.
