Khong Kyong Khangsu, the longest glacier of Change Khangpu glacial basin of Sikkim Himalaya, has been studied for it’s geomorphology. The objective of study is to classify the glaciated-geomorphic features into erosion, depositional and fluvial category along-with their origin, development process and other prominent surface changes through integrated manner. Three approaches have been utilized namely: Conventional, Field observation & Modern. Cartosat-1, first Indian stereo-image satellite [three dimensional] in conjunction with IRS- LISS IV [Mss] satellite data have been used as part of GIS & Remote Sensing as Modern approach. The glaciated- erosion features as Cirque, U shaped valley have been depicted in snow accumulation zone through DEM. The glaciated-depositional and glaciated-fluvial features like: Moraine, Terrace and, Channel deposit respectively have been documented with preparation of the glacial geo-morphological map. The retreating pattern of glacier as prominent surface change observed is the testimony for ongoing Global warming cum sea level fluctuation in Bay of Bengal.
