1605-1606 Chatrapati Shah
1606-1633 Ram Shah
1633-1642 Dambar Shah
1642-1658 Krishna Shah
1658-1669 Rudra Shah
1669-1716 Prithvi Pati Shah
1716-1743 Nar Bhupal Shah
Son of Nar Bhupal Shah was Prithivi Narayan Shah
The Shah Dynasty that unified and ruled Nepal for the last 240 years, often through bloodshed, came to a peaceful end on MAY 28, 2008. If the rise of the Shahs was spectacular, so was their downfall. In modern history, hardly any monarchy has been abolished either through the ballot or so peacefully.
The story of the Shah Dynasty, stretching over a period of over 450 years, is a saga of both triumph and tragedy.
After Drabya Shah, a prince of the royal house of the adjoining principality of Lamjung and progenitor of the Shah Dynasty, wrested Gorkha from local tribal chiefs in 1559, the Shahs remained confined to this impoverished, hilly principality for the next 183 years.
But that changed once and for all after an audacious prince, Prithvi Narayan Shah, ascended to the throne of Gorkha in 1742AD at the age of 20.
