Dhading

Dhading lies in the hills west of the Trishuli River, between Gorkha and the Kathmandu Valley. Parts of the region fell within the influence of the Gorkha kingdom before its rulers united Nepal. In his recollections, Prithvi Narayan Shah described crossing Kalleri Ghat and climbing through the hills of Dhading. He also visited the goddess of Salyankot, made an offering and granted land for her temple, seeking her blessing for his campaign.
