With the trending technological advancement, geographic information systems are finding their supremacy in many fields of research and technology, ranging from geographical inputs to population trends to medical advancements in full spheres of work in today’s progressing world. The emergence of Quantum GIS has now facilitated areas like change monitoring, forecasting. The paper aims to prove the elevation system forecast for the Ladakh region, which has lesser mobility in the present times; the paper’s findings focus on opening a new gateway for the engineered constructions in the region for improved connectivity that is confined to the summer months. Thus, ESRI’s GIS software helps analyse the terrain difficulties in the stipulated area via topics like raster feed, georeferencing, and mesh layer creation.
