             People from Dehradun ran away before British army entered into Dehradun.  People took shelter into nearby forests.
                 British army sent announcement for Garhwali people in English, Persian, Hindustani and Garhwali languages (Atkinson). The exact wordings are not available the meaning of those announcements was as follows-
           The worried British government was watching the repression and suppression of Gurkha on Garhwalis. British had cordial diplomatic relation with Gurkha and it was not possible for interference. British Government had to be a silence witness of suppression of Gurkha rule on Garhwalis. Now, Gurkha had crossed the limit and taking violent methods, British took the step for its honor and had to attack Gurkha.
 Now, British government wished to take best uses of this opportunity of freeing Garhwalis from Gurkha Rule. British government sent British army for dispatching Gurkha from Garhwal and freeing Garhwalis. Garhwalis are requested to cooperate and help the British army and do not resist British Army by any means. Garhwalis are asked to accept the British rule. British Government was  liberal and would protect the wealth and lives of Garhwalis.

           According to Captain Eden Vansittart (Notes on Gurkhas), there were   600 soldiers in Khalanga Garhi (Nalapani Garhi). While other scholars stated that there were 600 children, women, men and soldiers in Garhi and Parkhal of Nalapani. According to Premble, the numbers of soldiers would not be more than 300 in the Garhi.
         According to Williams and Walton, there were 300 -4000 Gurkha soldiers and Garhwali soldiers in Garhi. Minya Prem Singh and Archives of Tehri Riyasat also support that Garhwali soldiers were also there in sizable numbers. Atkinson informed that Gurkhas appointed Kumauni and Garhwali soldiers in the Army.
          Balbhadra was the commander of Gurkha soldiers of Khalanga Garhi. Balbhadra was son of daughter of  Amar Singh Thapa. Soldiers respected Balbhadra. After Nepalese war, Balbhadra  joined Ranjit Singh Army and he was having army of 800 Gurkha  , Kumauni and Garhwali soldiers.
  In history of Political and Military Transactions, Pricep writes that Amar Singh wrote letter from Malau after the Khalanga war that Out Khuka had so much power that less than Gurkha 500 soldiers destroyed 3 or 4 thousand British Army soldiers. Amar Singh wrote that there were less Old region Gurkha soldiers in Gurkha –Burkha Companies. Na dthere were Garhwali soldiers.
It means that Balbhadra had around 500 soldiers and had courage to fight with mighty British Army.

             The above details state that for capturing 600 Gurkha soldiers, back office people, women and children, British called 2775 army personnel, 100 Irish Dragons and two companies of 53 Battalion (Sitaram, From Sipoy to Subedar).  Though, British army men were five times more than Gurkha , British army men hesitated to go near Gurkha fort in Nalapani. The forest and hilly terrain were main hurdles before British Army. Gurkha soldiers were habitual for forest battle or guerrilla war.  When British gun men fired guns on Gurkha, Gurkha used to throw arrows suddenly. British soldiers were always afraid of Khukri attack by Gurkha soldiers.
          It was decided that British guns would be firing till noon and would break the fort wall.  Then the soldiers collectively would attack on Nalapani fort. Before the decision, all five divisions already surrounded the region. It was ordered that within five minutes, five guns would be fired. Every division commander checked their watch and set time as it was on Gillespie watch.
 Major Kelly marched at two o clock in Night and after one hour Fast and Campbell also marched from camp.  The local guides were with each division. However, Gillespie had apprehension that a few guides would deceive them due to future harm from Gurkha.

                   In Night, when British army personnel were transporting Guns and other materials a few Gurkha army men came out of the Parsali (fortes) and hid on eastern corner. In morning around nine Am, those Gurkha soldiers jumped on for capturing the Guns. Gillespie had ordered for firing on Khalanga /Nalapani Garhi. Indian soldiers of East India Company Army ran after Gurkha with their Gun with bayonet. Gillespie ordered Carpenter and Ludlow to follow those soldiers and enter into Garhi. In night the order was that after two hours of getting signal the Company army should fire guns on Khalanga /Nalapani Garhi. Therefore, Gillespie sent the alternating strategy information to his other two other Commanders. Two groups were sent to each of two Commanders to send messages. However, the groups could not reach to exact destination as guides either deceived Company army and took the informers to wrong path or guides were also not aware of right path.
 Sitaram who reached to Garhi along with a few company soldiers did not mention about guides deceiving Company Army.  Williams mentioned that big stones on the path to Garhi, ascending steep slope were major hassles for British soldiers to reach Garhi. Secondly, the women, men and children constructed wall and fiancé around Garhi. The wall and faiences were again a big hassle for British army. The enemy had to use ladders for entering to Garhi (fortes).  Gillespie ordered the armed forces staying at camp to reach to Tharapani.
 The soldiers under Carpenter and Ludlow followed the Gurkha soldiers. However, the British Army soldiers were having load on their back and they could not run as fast as Gurkha Guerillas ran towards Garhi.
