        Diplomatic Relationship (Foreign Policy) of Garhwal Kings with Himachal Kings

             At the beginning of fifteenth century, Thakar (Thakur) of Kamru (Rampur) were the strongest rulers of Kinnar / Kinnaur Region (Himachal Pradesh).

               It is said that Kamru Thakur chieftain of Kinnar region invited Garhwali weaponry soldiers from Fatehparvat mountain region of Garhwal and settled them in Kinnar or Kinnaur. The Kamru Thakur   defeated Prachand Thakur of Chini with the help of Garhwali soldiers. Kehar Sing the grandson of Kamru Thakur established Ramnagar town in Kinnar in 1554. In 1556, Kehar Singh had a friendly treaty with Tibet. It seems Kamru Thakur was contemporary of Ajeypal the Garhwal King. Fatepur Mountain is in western Garhwal and Garhwali armed soldiers were getting jobs in Kinnar in later period too. It might be possible that with the permission or inspiration from Ajeypal, Garhwali soldiers helped Kamru Thakur of Kinnar, Himachal Pradesh. It shows that Garhwal rulers had amicable relationship with east regional chieftains of Himachal Pradesh.
