Gurkha Memorial Museum, Pokhara

The Gurkha Memorial Museum's main theme has to do with the history behind the military efforts in Nepal. The Nepal Gurkha soldiers are part of the British Military for many years and it has been reported that the Gurkha soldiers are some of the fiercest fighters in battle. The museum has a collection of all sorts of historic Military items - guns, rifles, uniforms, the famous Gurka knives and many photographs of places where the Gurkha soldiers had served. Quite interesting history of this military force from the past to the present day. Better to die than be a coward, is the Gurkha motto. Their history attains to that. Long may they have the welfare and care of those who respect them. This museum is not the most attractive but has an absolute wealth of information and artefacts which would make it an essential visit for anyone with even the slightest interest in Nepali, British, Indian or general military history. Spread in 3 floors, this museum showcases the history of gurkha regiment. Their uniforms, medals, weapons and all communication instruments used by them during history.

A great museum that captures the great history of the Gurkhas. Lots of interesting facts and exhibits. You don’t have to be a military buff the enjoy. No pictures allowed inside and higher rate for foreigners (which is typical almost everywhere in Nepal).

If you are British, or love military history, and in Pokhara, Nepal, then THIS is a must to go to see. The full Gorkha history.

Feel very blessed that I could visit this museum. What a wonderful tribute to the Gurkhas, one of the most hardy and selfless people.

A great museum to experience while exploring Nepal. Take enough time to watch each and every items displayed...
