        Gorkhas (Nepal) captured Kumaon in 1790. Gorkhas were stronger than all Hill states as Garhwal and Himachal. Gorkhas were eager to spread their rule to North India. Garhwal King Pradyuma Shah could not take help of East India Company or East India Company could not help to Garhwal against Gorkha because it was engaged in conflict with Maratha and Tipu Sultan. Might be, Garhwal King was aware about repressive methods of East India Company in Awadh.

                East India Company had a business treaty with Nepal in 1801 and East India Company had two representatives in Kathmandu, Nepal.

 Garhwal tried to capture Garhwal through south Garhwal but could not win. Gorkha sent their representatives in Garhwal. Those representatives used to exploit Garhwal Kingdom. In September –October 1803, Gorkhas captured Garhwal.
