Garhwal Kingdom

The Panwar kings of Garhwal held the upper Ganges and Yamuna hills and Dehradun. Nepal conquered it in 1803–04, and Pradyumna Shah died at Khurbura in 1804.

The Panwar kingdom of the upper Ganges and Yamuna hills (Wikipedia 'Garhwal kingdom': capitals Chandpur Garhi until 1512, Devalgarh 1512–17, Srinagar from 1517). Wikidata dates the unified kingdom from 1358; tradition credits the union of the 52 hill forts (garhs) to Ajay Pal, whose reign is variously put in the 14th or late 15th century, so the early extent is uncertain.
