Man-eaters in Garhwal
Villages were becoming barren due to people fleeing and not doing farming activities. That resulted increasing of forest trees and bushes. The numbers of wild animals also increased ant in Gurkhayni or Gurkha Rule, Man eaters were also bigger problems for people.
Arrival of Moorcroft
P.J. Marczel writes in his ‘William Moorcroft’s commercial pilgrimage to Mansa Sarovar in 1812’ article that Moorcroft visited Mansarovar as Gusain (pedlar) in 1812 to explore its hydrography, appraise and tapping the trade , commercial and economic potential of the region. Hearsa, Gulam Hayderkhan, Pundit Harak Dev were also with him.
On 9th May, they entered into Kumaon via Ramnagar.
On 24th May, they reached to Joashimath.
They were in Neeti village on 4th June 1812.
They returned from Mansarovar on 8th August.
While returning, they put on European dresses. The local Gurkha Officer (Bhardar) Banda Thapa caught them. He freed them after initial enquiries. However, on 15 October another Bhardar caught them and put under house arrest type system. They were freed on 5th November after intervening of Kumaon Governor Bam Shah.
Moorcroft and Hearsay offer many valuable information about various aspects in their reporting on various journals.
