The Nepali Army has started a trek on the Gorkha-Jitgadhi unification route. The army's Rudradhwaj Battalion started the trek from Hanumanbhanjyang in Gorkha Durbar on Friday. The team started the trek wearing historical military uniforms and weapons. The trekking team was bid farewell by the Vice-Chancellor of West Pokhara, Vice-Chancellor Bholanath Thapa, Mayor of Palungtar Municipality Bibas Chintan, Deputy Mayor of Gorkha Municipality Masali Maya Thokar and others at Gorkha Durbar by handing over the flags of five companies from the establishment of the Nepali Army and the Victory Lamp. The trek, which started on Friday, will end on Baisakh 7 and reach Jitgadhi in Rupandehi, said Rudradhwaj Battalion Chief Birodh Rijal. The Rudradhwaj Battalion will complete the journey from Hanuman Bhanjyang in Gorkha Durbar to Satighat in the Tanahun border area and hand over the journey to Tanahun on Friday. The Nepali Army has stated that the 30-kilometer distance from Gorkha Durbar to Satighat will be completed in 1 day. The journey will reach Jitgadhi through district-wise handover. The
trekking team will reach Jitgadhi on Baisakh 7 via Tanahun, Palpa and Rupandehi. The 305-kilometer trek from Gorkha Durbar to Jitgadhi in Rupandehi will take 11 days. The journey has started with torches, national flags, the first 5 companies of the Nepali Army (Srinath, Sabuj, Old Gorakh, Barda Bahadur and Kalibox) and the flags of the Gurubox Gulma that participated in the Jitgadhi battle.
To commemorate the day of victory in the battle of Jitgadhi Fort in Rupandehi during the Nepal-British War, the Butwal Sub-Metropolitan City has been celebrating Baisakh 7th every year as a victory festival.
It is believed that the tour will help in identifying the forts, forts, palaces and routes used during the unification period, and will help in their preservation, promotion and development. Jitgadhi Fort has a history of the British army returning after losing to Nepal on Baisakh 7th, 1872 BS. In memory of this, Baisakh 7th is celebrated as a victory festival in Jitgadhi.
