                                         By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Student)
                        On 22nd February, irregular British Army reached to Amela via Kosi valley, Kumaon. On the same day, Gardner reached to Binkot, Kumaon through left narrow road of Amela. Chaumukhiya/Chamua was on a 6354 feet height hill top between Kosi and Ramganga Rivers. From war point of view , it was necessary for occupying Chamua hill top.  Gardner decided for occupying Chamua on the same day. Due to straight steep and walk for  the day , only 40 soldiers could reach to Chamua hill top. A few army personnel reached by night too. Balance army reached Chamua by morning. There was snow on the top and soldiers did not face water problem.
                     By the march of British army, Gurkha/Nepalese commander Angad Sardar understood that British wanted occupying Chamua hill top. Angad Sardar also decided to occupy strategic hill top Chamua. However, when Angad Sradar reached four miles away from Chamua he came to know that British already occupied Chamua hill top. Angad Sardar had to return back from the way. Balance British army personnel reached to Chamua hill top by 25thFebruary. With hard work, guns and elephants also reached to Chamua by next day.
    After occupying Chamua, British soldiers snatched letters from Gurkha soldiers. By those letters, British commanders came to know that Gurkha/Nepalese made strategies for occupying Chamua and Bhujan (Bujan). Gurkha/Nepalese never guessed that British army would take difficult terrain Binkot for reaching  Chamua. Gurkha/Nepalese army had to return from Chamua region.
