This battle was a turning point in the unification of Nepal, revealing the depth of resistance to Gorkha expansion and the lengths Prithvi Narayan Shah would go to secure victory. We also discuss the role of Captain Kinloch and the British East India Company, and how the fall of Kirtipur paved the way for the conquest of the Kathmandu Valley.
