The key features of the Gurkha trousers are the two over-lapping belts on the waist band, the high rise, and its pleated design. The trousers get their name from the legendary Gurkha soldiers, considered to be the strongest soldiers in Nepal. The courage of the Gurkhas was praised even after Nepal was defeated by the British Empire in the Anglo-Nepalese War, with the British creating the Treaty of Sugauli in 1816 allowing them to enlist Nepalese citizens to fight for British Army.
