A Kukri.
Nepali kukri Gurkha knife.
Probably not a kukri used by the Ghurkas. Their knives were usually not this fancy. This one looks to be more decorative. The kukri was/is a common tool used by Nepalis and Indians. I have several military issue kukris and they are generally plain, with no decoration.
Even dress Ghurka kukris don't look like yours. What are the dimensions, blade length, handle length, etc.?
I agree with KWQD. It is not a Gurkha military knife, but is typical of what one sees in the tourist markets in Kathmandu, Nepal.
no one noticed it is not the buffalo horn and is missing and the chakmak and the karda!!!!
