The Battle That Killed Kalu Pandey | The First Battle of Kirtipur | History of Nepal

कीर्तिपुरको त्यो भयानक युद्ध | काजी कालु पाँडेको अन्तिम लडाइँ | नेपालको इतिहास Nearly 300 years ago, a fierce battle unfolded in the hills of the Kathmandu Valley — a battle that would become one of the most significant early conflicts in the history of Nepal's unification. This was the First Battle of Kirtipur. Under the command of the legendary Gorkhali commander Kaji Kalu Pandey, Gorkha forces advanced toward the heavily fortified hill settlement of Kirtipur. But the terrain, defensive position, and strong resistance of Kirtipur turned the campaign into a devastating confrontation. Kalu Pandey was killed during the battle, dealing a major setback to the Gorkhali campaign and preventing the immediate conquest of Kirtipur. But this was more than just a battle. It was a clash between an expanding Gorkha kingdom and a strategically important fortified city in the Kathmandu Valley — a conflict that became part of the much larger story of the unification of Nepal. In this documentary, we explore the background of the First Battle of Kirtipur, Kaji Kalu Pandey's role, the geography and defenses of Kirtipur, the course of the battle, and the events that followed. This documentary attempts to reconstruct one of the most dramatic chapters of Nepal's history using available historical sources and research.
