The history of Nepalese, seeking foreign employment, dates back to the war with Great Britain (1814-1816). Many of the Gurkhas, who were excellent fighters, entered British military service in India and in the British colonies, serving in separate Gurkha regiments.

The Nepalese have gained a reputation for their loyalty, honesty, perseverance and a keen sense of duty.
