Nepal's Last Malla King: Jayaprakash Malla's Stand Against Gorkha

6 min•1 maj 2026

In 1768, as Prithvi Narayan Shah's Gorkhali army closed in on the Kathmandu Valley, one king refused to surrender. Jayaprakash Malla, the last ruler of Kantipur, led a desperate alliance with Patan and Bhaktapur to hold back the invaders. This episode recounts the fall of the Malla confederation, focusing on the siege of Kathmandu, the role of the British East India Company's failed aid mission under Captain Kinloch, and the fate of the Malla kings after the conquest. We explore how Jayaprakash Malla's defiance ended with his exile and death in Patan, and how the Shah dynasty's victory reshaped Nepal forever. Drawing on contemporary accounts and local legends, Lucas and Luna uncover the human drama behind Nepal's unification — a story of courage, betrayal, and the end of a golden age.
