In 1838, Ranjit Singh appointed Sher Singh to attend to the Governor General's entourage on its visit to the Sikh kingdom. Sher took Partap with him. Eden described Partap as "a boy of ten or twelve years old, of remarkably fine spirit and promise, with large expressive eyes, and manners which could be perfectly composed and dignified, or boyish and playful at will. He was a great favourite with the whole of the Governor-General's party."
