It is important to note that the term 'Gorkha' (or its Anglicized version 'Gurkha') is mainly used by outsiders to refer to Nepali men who enlist in British regiments. Since 1911 however, of the 16 VCs awarded to men serving with Gurkha regiments, 13 have been bestowed on native Gurkhas.

He built roads, a school and a temple, and advocated for Gurkha pensions, compensation and medical care. On April 22, 2023, Limbu passed away at the age of 83.
