Mahendra was made a British Field Marshal in 1960. Mahendra implemented a land reform policy, which provided land to many landless people. The Mahendra Highway (also called East-West Highway) that runs along the entire Terai belt in southern Nepal was constructed during his reign. He played a key role in making Nepal a member of the United Nations.

Mahendra died with a heart attack while hunting in Chitwan with Tiger Tops Hotel. It is believed  that his death was a conspiracy of CIA as John Coapman who was also proprietor of  Chitwan with Tiger Tops Hotel was associated with the CIA at the time, who reported in 1977 that Mahendra died in his arms after eating dinner "on shikar"

    I was one of the persons to whom Coapman made the remark about Mahendra dying in his arms. It was in Mussoorie in 1977 and my youngest brother was also a witness. I later googled him and found the CIA reference on website from his old school in the US. He also claimed a royal from Bhutan died in his arms in similar circumstances, after eating supper on shikar. Very convenient, no?
