Verticality and variations are the properties of mountains landscape. Application of GIS on geographical research enables to analyze those specific properties of mountain landscape with attainable accuracy level. This paper is an attempt to bring the applicability of GIS in the geographical research in the mountain context based on the available secondary information of various sources. Research queries in geographical subject, introduction of GIS and its development in Nepal, research issues, application of GIS and challenges and the new strategy for the application of GIS in the mountain context are explained in detail.
