I have travelled and lived in many parts of India and Nepal and came to discover that Upadhyay's settelled in Nepal because Maharana Pratap came to establish Nepal in exile and he brought his adviser's Upadhyay alongwith him from Mewar-Rajasthan. That's how Upadhyay setteled in Uttrakhand and Nepal from where they also migrated to the plains of UP, Bihar and Jharkhand states.
When I was staying at Mumbai I came across many Upadhyay from Gujarat and Karnataka.No clue how and why they reached Karnataka?
