He spent all his dynamic life battling for his nation neither having a yearning for cash nor comfort however battled exclusively to extend the domain of NepalAfter the passing of his dad in the fight for Kathmandu Valley, he got direction and care from lord Prithvi Narayan Shah, the organizer of Nepal. Amarsingh Thapa assumed critical part in every one of the fights battled west of Gorkha amid the lead of Bahadur Shah. In course of his west ward walk, Amarsingh vanquished Garhwal alongside Dehra Dun by crushing the King of Garhwal. He vanquished in a steady progression domain until the point when Nepal's limit achieved the banks of the Satlaj River.Then he turned towards Killa-Kangra however couldn't really assault it because of absence of good warriors. Rather, he started to fix a bar around it by overcoming the greater part of the encompassing kingdoms. A furious fight was battled between Sikh troops and the Nepalese before Kangra. The troopers inside the fortification turned out to join the Sikhs. Finally, Amarsingh withdrawn over the Satlaj.
