Nepal's Lost Fort: The 1763 Battle of Kirtipur

8 min•4 maj 2026

Lucas and Luna revisit the unification of Nepal through the bloody 1763 Battle of Kirtipur, where Prithvi Narayan Shah's Gorkha forces suffered a devastating defeat before a brutal victory. They explore the strategic importance of the walled city, the role of Captain Kinloch's British-led relief force, and the infamous mutilation of defeated Kirtipur defenders. The episode also examines the Malla kingdoms' internal divisions, the use of European firearms, and how this battle shaped Shah's eventual conquest of the Kathmandu Valley. Listeners will learn about the hill fort's three-story walls, the Gorkha use of bamboo scaling ladders, and the legacy of Kirtipur's resistance in Nepali memory.
