The '''Limbuwan–Gorkha War''' was a series of battles fought between the king of [[Kingdom of Nepal|Gorkha]] and the rulers of various principalities of [[Limbuwan]] from 1771 to 1774 AD. After the conquest of Majh Kirat (Khambuwan kingdoms) and Wallo Kirat by the Gorkhas, they invaded Limbuwan on two fronts. One front was in Chainpur (present-day [[Sankhuwasabha District]]) and the second front was in Bijaypur (present-day [[Dharan, Nepal|Dharan]], [[Sunsari District]]). Bijaypur was the capital of the [[Morang]] Kingdom of Limbuwan Yakthung Laje.<br />
<br />
The war came to an end in 1774 AD with the ceasefire treaty, "treaty of Salt and Water," between Yakthung Laje Limbuwan king and Gorkha king. It recognized co-existence of government system and equal rights between Gorkha King and Yakthung Laje Limbuwan Kings.<ref>A Paper work entitled "Yakthung Laje Limbuwan as a Stateless Nation: An Independent Movement" presented by Hang TUTU [[Nir Kumar Sambahangphe Limbu]] of [[Yakthung Laje Limbuwan National Council (YLNC)]] on 22 December 2020 Tejpur Assam, India.</ref> The war was ended with the signing of the Limbu-Gorkha treaty which ceded the much of this territory east of Arun river to the Gorkha kingdom.<ref>Saul Mullard,D.Phil(2009) from the Department of South and Inner Asia, University of Oxford, "Opening of the Hidden Land, State Formation and the Construction of Sikkimese History" Rachana Books & Publications, Development Area, Gantok, Sikkim 737101,1979</ref><br />
