GURKHA NATIONAL WEAPON

• 

Gurkhas are traditionally recruited from the hill people of Nepal, who trace their roots right back to an 8th century Hindu warrior, Guru Gorakhnath.

They first encountered the British in 1814, when the British East India Company fought against them during the Anglo-Nepalese War. British forces admired the Gurkhas’ military abilities and honourable tactics, and first recruited Gurkha troops in 1815.

The Peace Treaty that ended the war in 1816 enabled the British to officially recruit Nepali Gurkhas – and so began Britain’s relationship with Nepal, our ‘oldest ally’ in Asia.

Khukuri is the national weapon of Nepal.Gurkha use khukuri in battle field.If gurkha army gets out of ammo jut they put out their khukuri and start choping enemy.Khukuri helps gurkha a lot in battle field to fight with enemy. It holds a unique place in Nepalese culture as more than just an exquisite example of local craftsmanship, or even a symbol of national pride, valor in battle, and personal bravery; although it is all of these things and more.
