Nepal's Lost Kingdom: The Khasa Malla of the Karnali

7 min•8 maj 2026

Long before the Shahs and the Ranas, before even the Mallas of the Kathmandu Valley, a powerful kingdom ruled the western hills of modern Nepal. The Khasa Malla kingdom, centered in the Karnali region, flourished from the 11th to the 14th centuries, leaving behind a legacy of hilltop fortresses, Sanskrit inscriptions, and a unique Buddhist-Hindu syncretism. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the rise of King Prithvi Malla, the mysterious ‘Sinja valley’ as a cultural hub, and the kingdom’s eventual fragmentation. They discuss the Khas language—ancestor of modern Nepali—and the kingdom’s influence on later Gorkha identity. Drawing on inscriptions and local legends, they uncover a lost chapter of Himalayan history that challenges the Kathmandu-centric narrative of Nepal’s past. From the fortified citadel of Dullu to the copper-plate grants that mention queens ruling in their own right, this episode reveals a sophisticated civilization that thrived at the crossroads of Tibet and the Indian plains.
