An extensive survey was conducted by me, to know the ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological study of seabuckthorn (SBT) in Kargil district of Ladakh trans-Himalaya. For this we used the questionnaire’s and interview method from experienced persons in several locations of kargil district from Drass to Parkachik, the total village visited for this survey is 26 villages, during the survey we noticed that different use of this medicinal plant was going from the past to now. The local people of this region still depend on traditional systems of medicine for different purpose like most of the boto tribe particularly Amchis use Amchi system which is based on Tibet system of Medicine. Seabuckthorn are multipurpose plant the different use of seabuckthorn are for fuel, fencing, fodder, protect from soil erosion, food, flavouring, cosmetics, beverage, land reclamation etc. One new thing noticed in SBT is they are chilling resistant plant. There is an tremendous scope for pharmaceutical companies, cosmetic companies, beverage companies etc, to fulfil the need of people whose demands are increasing every day.
