Gorkha - Upallokot

From a chautaara on the east side of the palace a path ascends to the upper fort, Upallokot, atop the neighboring hill, a walk of about 20 minutes. The fort, little more than a pocket-size courtyard, now with a telecommunications tower, is noted for its outstanding views of the Himalayas and Mahabharat range as well as the compact Gorkha fortress below.

On the opposite side of the palace a second path climbs up to Tallokot, another vantage point. While the vista is not nearly as good as from Upallokot it is rather more easily gained.
