   History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon and Haridwar) -469 
                        By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)
               The relationship of Garhwal Kings had been cold and hot with Himachal Kingdoms adjacent to Uttarkashi and Dehradun regions.
          According to folklores, Garhwal army destroyed the forts of Kamru (Rampur) and Chini of Himachal in fifteenth century. The Kamru Thakur (chieftain) Kehr Singh established Rampur.
       There was cordial relationship of Garhwal Kings with Bushahr King from Ajaypal till Balbhadra Shah. The Garhwal Kings and many Himachal Kings had marriage relationship too.
           According to Bahuguna Vanshavali, Garhwal King Manshah won Utkal (Jubbal) and Kameth (Kanthyl) of Himachal. The folklore and historical witnesses support the Bahuguna Vanshavali.  Garhwal King Manshah won the territories of Thong/Thyong, Madhan and Ghund of Himachal. These territories were ruled by  Thakurs.
 Dr. Dabral suggested that Manshah also  have won Ravai Pargana of Himachaal region.
    Madho Singh Bhandari the Garhwal Chief of Army of Mahpati Shah reached to Shringkatha of Vaspa valley. Perhaps his army reached to Vaspa via Chitkal, Sanga, Kalpa, Chini and Pangi. Madho Singh died there in Vaspa. With difficulty, Garhwal army returned to Garhwal.
   Prithvipati Shah also tried to extend his rule till Sutlej but was not successful due to strong resistance from togetherness of Himachal Kings. Garhwal rule was till Hatokoti of Himachal. As per order of Auranzeb, Madani Shah won Butolgarh of Kyunthalgarh of Aurangzeb.
 There was border dispute with Sirmaur king of Fateshah. However, after oppressive methods of Guru Govind Singh  , Garhwal King Fate Shah helped Sirmaur King.  From that time Garhwal Kings started appointing Himachal soldiers.
 By appointing Himachal soldiers, Garhwal Kings and Kumaon Kings started ignoring Rajput and Khas soldiers.  A couple of regional commanders of west Garhwal declared them free from Garhwal Kingdom and took help of Himachal Kingdoms.
     Just before Gorkha attack, Himmat Singh the King of Bushehr captured Ravaigarh from Garhwal.
