During this research study on the basis of altitude 5 altitudinal ranges were formed from 2396 to 6742 ft. from Lower Tanawal, Abbottabad Pakistan. From these 05 altitudinal ranges 17 plant communities were established, 3 plant communities were documented from altitudinal range I (2396-3054 ft). Four plant communities were formed from altitudinal range II (3142-3613 ft). Three plant communities were recognized from altitudinal range III (3708-4182 ft). Four plant communities were recorded from altitudinal range IV (4220-4666 ft). Three plant communities were established from altitudinal range V (4827-6742 ft). The ordination techniques Two-way Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN) were used to classify the data.
