 Many Kingdoms asked help from East India Company to fight with Prithvi Narayan Shah. However, with initial failure, East India Company did not wish to fight with Prithvi Narayan Shah. On the contrary, East India Company was more interested in cordial relation with Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah for expending the trade with Tibet and China through Nepal territory.

 Slowly, there was relation between Prithvi Narayan and East India Company. In 1774, Warren Hasting and Prithvi Narayan suppress the oppression of Naga those used to loot from Haridwar to Nepal Tarai and Bengal. When decedents captured hills of Vijaya Garh, Prithvi Narayan sent his army to suppress the opponents on request of wife of Warren Hasting. Hasting appreciated the acts of Prithvi Narayan Shah.
