Gadhi

A Gadhi is a traditional fortified structure or watchtower commonly found in certain South Asian regions, particularly Nepal. It served as a defensive outpost or stronghold, providing protection against invaders and enabling early warning of threats. Gadhis were often strategically located on hills or high ground to monitor surrounding areas and safeguard communities. Today, some Gadhis are historical landmarks that reflect local history and architecture, offering insight into the defensive strategies and cultural heritage of the region.
