Kumaon Himalaya in Uttarakhand are blessed with varying mountain landscapes. A mélange of geomorphological features can be observed along the Himalayan mountains. The present study is focused upon the higher Himalayan landscapes and landforms within the East Dhauliganga river basin. The river originates from east Panchachuli glacier and forms a tributary of Kaliganga at Tawaghat in Pithoragarh district. The study area lies closer to Main Central Thrust (MCT) and is therefore, a tectonically active zone. A complex combination of tectonic, glacial, fluvial, pluvial and anthropogenic activities can be seen throughout the basin. The melting of snow from the glacier contribute to the hydrological stability of the river system. In contemporary times, we see a huge challenge in sustaining the environs of upper reaches of mountains. Rapid change in landscape and landforms poses a greater threat in near future, and has also affected the sustainability of the region.
