Present research paper is an attempt to classifications of the Land Use Land Cover (LULC) by using supervised classification in the Gori Ganga watershed of Kumaun Himalaya, Uttarakhand (India). Geographical distribution of LULC status of Gori Ganga watershed in 2018 about 26.50% (580.86 km2) area was covered with snow, 3.85% (84.33 km2) area was covered with glacier, 1.93% (42.39 km2) area was covered with barren land, 5.63% (123.31 km2) area was covered with Sand cover area, 10.02% (219.53 km2) area was covered with water body, 50.39% (1104.49 km2) area was covered with vegetation and 1.68% (36.72 km2) area was covered with agriculture area. A brief account of these results it’s discussed in the following paragraphs.
