          Hindered of soldiers left Gurkha army and joined irregular British army at the time of Kumaon Campaign.  After capturing Kumaon, British commanders appointed those soldiers as regular British army soldier and established Kumaon Battalion. The adjutants and commandants were European for Kumaon Battalion.
    The Rohila irregular soldiers proved to be problematic for British. When Rohilla soldiers returned back to plains (south of Kumaon), those soldiers started looting nearby villages and looting articles from their own Army stores. (John Premable).

   Edward Gardner tried pleasing Bhotias of Bhotantik region (north of Uttarakhand). The maps available with East India Company officials were with lot of mistakes. British officials were ready for Kali River as border demarcation between Nepal and Kumaon. However, British high command was anxious to have roads to Tibet under British. Therefore, British High Command instructed Edward Gardner for sending his suggestions for border line. Gardner sent  a map made with the help of Hearsay showing roads towards Tibet. The map was showing Neeti valley road to Tibet so simple that a person could reach easily to Daba valley of Tibet. Governor General decided to bring whole East of Alaknanda region under British rule.
