 Yamuna valley was fertile territory in Old TEhri  Garhwal in Shah Dynasty period. However, In Gorkha period the valley deserted from population and prosperity point of view.  When Sudarshan Shah took charge, the Yamuna Valley and Kharsali region was deserted (1). The east part of Bhagirathi was deserted too (1). For example, Makuva village had only one family left at the time  Gorkha left Garhwal. Taknaur was fertile territory, Rana was jagirdar (Kachua village was their residence) of Taknaur in Shah dynasty rule  but in Gorkha rule, Taknaur was poor region from all angles. Taknaur Region was totally deserted region (1).
 Fraser toured Dharali region and wrote memoir of Dharali region too (1) . Dharali village once, was densely populated village and was prosperous village but in Gorkha regime , the village lost its prosperity and people left it . There were nly 15 people left in Mafuva village(2).

        There were 5 or 6 poor conditioned huts in Barahat in 1808 (1). The bushes, creeping plants, spiky plants and dirt were surrounding those huts (1). The temples, Dharmshalayen and colonies were deserted and dirty. People were poor in that region (1). The conditions worsened in Gorkha period. 
 Moorcroft described bad conditions of between regions of Bhagirathi and Bhilangana Rivers.  Villages were desert because people left the village due to oppressive Gorkha administration. Gorkha officials sold women, child labour as slaves to traders in Haridwar (3).

 When Sudarshan Shah took charge of regime the rods in Theri and Uttarkashi were in very bad shapes and conditions. The so called highways were not suitable for even goats or sheep. From Dehradun to Mangal ka Than via Mugara and Sahstradhara , in many places, the width of road was one feet only. The valleys were steep and dangerous. The road for from Chimaliganv to  Uttrkashi was so dangerous that travellers could not dare to see left and right. The slate slope roads were  slippery . On those stone slopes, travellers had to walk on bare feet and without shoes. (2)
    The roads around Bhatwari or Yamunotri valleys were in very bad shape (1) . Gorkha never took interst in maintaining those roads (1). It was essential for Sudarshan Shah for repairing those importnat roads.

   Since, the villages and fields were barren, there was less population; there were bushes, jungles in the region. Usually, on tour roads, tourists used to die due to cholera etc and there dead bodies used to be un-burried or nobody was burning the dead body and wild animals used to consume such dead bodies. . Normal tigers became man eaters. All those factors increased  the wild animal population. People used to use Jibal or a kind of net for catching the wild animals (2)
   There were huge numbers of birds, animals for hunting. British citizens used to visit Tehri Garhwal for hunting. Tehri King had to arrange food and loaders without payment for those British hunters (3).
 The terror of wild animals were  hurdle in increasing farm land and agriculture.
