Palynological studies have provided a good overview of the palaeovegetational and palaeoclimatic scenario of the Indian subcontinent. However, little has been explored in this regard from the glaciated sites of the Himalayan region. In recent years, some palynological data have been generated from a few glaciated sites of Western Himalaya and it has been found that other than palaeoclimatic reconstruction, spores–pollen can be used as an important parameter to know the possible extent of the glaciers during Late Quaternary. Glacier dynamics plays an important role in carving and consequent modification of the various geomorphic features, which are the characteristic of various stages of glacial fluctuations. Because the distribution of spores–pollen of the type vegetation is ubiquitous, collection of subsurface sediments from the depositional geomorphic features, for palynological study as well as dating, is important to get the chronological history of various glacial stages.
