History of Rainaskot

Lamjung Rainaskot was controlled by Drabya Shah, a member of the royal dynasty, in the 15th century. He became king of this region after winning a race at Gorkha's Ligligkot, located on the other side of the small town. There are several forts near Rainaskot that were built in the 14th century, including Kalika, Koteswhar, Mahadev, Thanimai, and others. The Gurung community is the major homestay region, although the settlement also has Bhramin and Tamang tribes.
