{{unsourced section|date=March 2019}}

According to Rahul Sankrityayan's book Himalaya Parichaya: Garhwal ({{lang-hi|हिमालय परिचय: गढ़वाल}}), the Dabrals were originally inhabitants of Maharashtra state of the Western India region, from where they migrated to the Himalayas in the north as a result of the Islamic invasion in the 14th century A.D.

Some sources cite that two Gaud Saraswat Brahmin brothers from Maharashtra named Raghunath and Vishwanath migrated to the Garhwal region in the year 1376 A.D. where they first settled at the hilly village Dabar in Pauri Garhwal district near the town Lansdowne in present day Uttarakhand thus given the surname Dabral. Modern day Dabrals are considered their descendents.
