Geo Tour in Nepal exhibits the youngest orogeny of the Earth resulting from the collision of Indian and Eurasian Plates during the Miocene (55 Ma). In this special tour, you will be well acquainted with a brief description of the Geographical Formation of modern Nepal.

Nepal covers an almost 800 kilometers segment of the central Himalayas. It is one of the best places to understand geological processes. Folded and faulted strata of rock and the landforms created by different sedimentary, meta-sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Serve various geological and Geo-morphological features within a narrow (100-150 kilometers) stretch. Reworks by glaciers, paleographers, and antecedent rivers further fascinate humankind to explore and enjoy sophisticated geological and Geo-morphological features.

Tectonically the Himalayan Faults are divided into five tectonic units separated by major Himalayan Faults. These tectonic units from south to north are

1. Indogangetic Plains of Pleistocene-recent alluvium
2. Sub-Himalaya is comprising mollasce deposit of Miocene-Pleistocene age characterized by plat and vertebrate fossils
3. Lesser. Himalaya comprising sedimentary and Meta-sedimentary Rock of Precambrian-Eocene age
4. Higher Himalayas comprising high-grade metamorphic rocks of Precambrian age, and
5. Tibetan-Tethys Himalaya were comprising sedimentary rocks deposited in the Tethys Sea characterized by plant and invertebrate fossils along with the intrusion of Leucogranites.

The Kali Gandaki Section exposes all the tectonic units of the Himalayas within a narrow range. Beautiful snow-capped mountains (peaks within Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Range). The World’s deepest gorge, a landform of the Tibetan Plateau is the characteristic of the geomorphological features of this route.

Geo Tour Features

Nebula’s specialized and tailored Nepal Geo tour package starts from the Indo-Gangetic Plain and covers different geological formations of Siwaliks, Lesser Himalaya, Higher Himalaya, and Tibetan-Tethys Himalaya along with vibrant geological structures of the Himalayas.

This 13-day Geo Tour in Nepal starts from Kathmandu to different landscapes viz, to the lowland Tarai, and then to the highland; and finally ending the geographical and topographical visual study along with research at the Northern Himalayas in the Annapurna Range.
