About 3 hours walk from the famous Manakamana temple of Gorkha district to the temple of Bakreshwar Mahadev and reach Lakhan Thapa cave. This cave is located at a very high point. At the same place, Martyr Lakhan Thapa had entered the tunnel in front of Surung. In that high place, there are even hours on a big rock with Surung. From this very high point, you can see the beautiful scenery and the view of the mountain ranges. This place is a unique example of natural resources. Lakhan Thapa Magar was born in 1835 in Bungkot of Gorkha district and died in 1877. Lakhan Thapa is the first Shahid of Nepal. Dissatisfied with Nepali politics, they opposed the rule of Ranbansh. As the king of Bungkot in Gorkha, he rebelled against the rule of Jung Bahadur Rana and started propagating his political ideology to form an independent state and army to destroy the rule of Jung Bahadur Rana. Lakhan Thapa's friend Jaisingh Chumi Magar and others supported him. After the Kot Massacre of 14 September 1846, the mysterious assassination of General Gagan Singh Khawas kept the Rana in power for 104 years. The queen's assassination of General Gagan Singh Khawas kept the Rana in power for 104 years. The queen wanted to know about the assassination of General Gagan Singh Khawas. Abhiman Singh Rana Magar, the first Maharathi or Chief of Army Staff of the Nepal Army, knew who the killer was. After receiving information from the general, Jung Bahadur Rana shot and killed the general. So, the commander of the death penalty shouted the identity of the killer and then Jung Bahadur Rana was moved to remove all the elites inside and outside the royal family. This included ethnic leaders like Lakhan Thapa Magar to secure their place. He joined the old Gorakh platoon and went to India in 1857 to suppress the rebellion on the frontier of Company Bahadur. Some relatives of Lakhan Thapa live in Almoda. That is why Lakhan Thapa got his early education by spending his childhood there. Lakhan Thapa meet Jaisingh Rana and Supati Gurung of Kali Bahadur Gana at army Camp in Lucknow and that is how the friendship between them grew. After retiring from military service, Lakhan Thapa came to his home in Bungkot, Gorkha. He created the idea of building a new society by removing social evils and slave mentality. In 1857, in consultation with the three friends mentioned above, they all formed a secret organization. Lakhan Thapa disguised as a yogi has been sent to me by the goddess as a gift. Therefore, all of us together went from village to village and started preaching that Satya Yuga should be returned to Nepal by removing Jung Bahadur Rana. Impressed by his publicity and ideas, he gathered around 2,000 unemployed youth. They took the youths to Gauchar around Bungkot and started giving them military training. He had a small number of weapons. And so these groups started revolting against Jung Bahadur. Realizing all this, Jang Bahadur sent Lakhan Thapa and all the people to Gorkha to arrest him and bring him to Kathmandu. The Gurkha platoon laid siege to Lakhan Thapa's village Bungkot in Gorkha and started the operation. The boys fought with the Gorkha platoon with some stuffed guns and stone guns, khukuri, khunda etc. Many of Lakhant Thapa's followers were defeated in this battle. In the end, government forces arrested 40 or 50 rebels, including main leader Lakhan Thapa. The next day, Lakhan Thapa and some of the main accused were handcuffed, put in a bamboo cage and brought to Kathmandu. Five accused, including Lakhan Thapa and Jaisingh Rana, were named as the main accused and they were taken to Bungkot in Gorkha and hanged on a Khari tree. And was hanged on a tree. The uprising in Gorkha led by Lakhan Thapa is the first mass protest by the people against the autocratic Rana regime. After the Kotparva, Bhandarkhal scandal and the Alau war, no one had dared to revolt against the autocratic Jahaniya regime established in Nepal.
