In figure, Green - Vegetation Cyan Icy surface – Brown Bare rock surface – Yellow Glacier lake – Red Lakes – Magenta Rivers – White Snow covered area – Blue Glacier moraines – The second supervised classification was performed to classify the park by different vegetation types. Using the ecological map, we were able to get information of what possible cover types are present in the park and by overlaying the ecological shape onto the park image we specified training sites for the classifier. This classification was done based on information the in ecological data. Similarly, we specified minimum of six training sites for each forest type. After running the classification, we got a desired output image with 6 different classes of forest types. Maximum likelihood was chosen as the parametric rule. Figure 4 Supervised classification image showing different cover types – In figure, White Nival zone – Yellow Juniper scrub – Magenta Sub-alpine Juniper forest – Purple Upper-temperate Blue Pine forest – Green Fir-birch Rhododendron forest – Tan Sub-alpine Pasture – DEM Data: We acquired a STRM Digital elevation data for the region ranging from 2500 m to 7500 m. This data was initially manipulated to get a 200 m increment elevation map to see how elevation is distributed throughout the whole district. Literatures suggest that snow leopard signs and marking have been found within the elevation of 3500 m to 5500m. We merged the DEM map so that we got one single elevation class of 3500 m to 5500 m and compared that with our
