Nepal 1810: The Gorkhali Conquest of Garhwal
In 1810, the Gorkhali army under Amar Singh Thapa marched into the hill kingdom of Garhwal, beginning a brutal campaign that would reshape the Himalayas. This episode follows the siege of Srinagar, the flight of King Pradyumna Shah, and the fierce resistance at the fortress of Langur Garhi. We explore the military tactics of the Gorkhali forces, the strategic importance of Garhwal in the expanding Shah dynasty, and the cultural impact of Gorkhali rule on the local population. Lucas and Luna also discuss the role of the Kumaoni allies and the complex politics of the region before the Anglo-Nepalese War. Why did Garhwal fall so quickly, and what did the conquest mean for the balance of power in the Himalayas? Tune in for a deep dive into this pivotal but often overlooked chapter of Nepalese history.
