Dating back to 1815, the Brigade of Gurkhas has a rich history of dedicated service to the British Crown, displaying distinction in various global conflicts. Initially concentrated in the Far East until the handover of Hong Kong in 1997, the Brigade has since established its base in the UK. Annually, recruitment opportunities arise at the British Gurkha Army Camps in Pokhara and Dharan, Nepal, welcoming applications from Nepalese youth of all backgrounds and regions.
