         Most probably, Garhwal King Sahajpal had cordial relation with Mughal Empire. However, Sahajpal did not agree to be under Mughal rule.
         Husain Khan a regional commander of Akbar attacked on territories from Yamuna till Doti and looted the territory.
 Garhwal army resisted Husain Khan army in Doon valley. Garhwal army wounded Husain Khan and Husian Khan died after getting wound in Doon valley.
             Initially, Garhwal King Balbhadra opposed Akbar and supported opponents of Akbar. However, later on established cordial relation with Mughal Emperor Akbar.
  Garhwal King Shyam Shah visited Mughal Emperor in Agra but did not acceptance submission or rule of Mughal Emperor.
   Nazavat khan the commander of Shahjahan attacked on Garhwal and reached till Mohanchatti Banderbhel (where Taimur also reached) and was harassed by armed force of Nakkati queen. Nazabat Khan had to flee to save his life to Nazibabda region via Hinwal river valley. Prithvipati Shah accepted submission of Mughal Emperor Shahjahan but by offering shelter to Suleman Shikoh (son of Dara SHikoh)  he opposed Aurangzeb. Medani Shah the son of Prithvipati Shah opposed his father and helped Auranzeb to catch Suleman Shikoh. Though Medani Shah was under Auranzeb but virtually Garhwal was as good as Slovenian Kingdom. Fateshah the son of Medani Shah attacked part of Saharanpur and looted the Mughal territory. Fate Shah sent gift to Mughal emperor in later stage.
                Due to geographical circumstances, Mughal rulers could not win Garhwal and most of the time Garhwal Kings had cordial relation with Mughal Empire.
  Hardiwar was always under Mughal or Rohillas in Pughal Period. Same way, Bijnor  was snatched from Garhwal by Rohillas for ever.
