The 1810 Gorkha Invasion of Jumla and the Last Malla King

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Gorkha conquest of the remote Himalayan kingdom of Jumla in 1810. They discuss Jumla's origins as part of the Khasa Malla kingdom, the strategic reasons behind Gorkha expansion under Rana Bahadur Shah's regency, the siege of Jumla's capital, and the exile of its last Malla king. The episode also examines how Jumla's geography shaped its identity and the long-term impact of its absorption into the growing Gorkha Empire. Specific figures include Balbhadra Shah, the Gorkha commander, and King Girbhan Malla, the last independent ruler of Jumla.
