Geological mapping was carried out in the Barpak-Bhachchek area of the Daraudi River valley, Gorkha district, West-Central Nepal for structural analysis. The area comprises rocks of the Higher Himalayan Crystalline and the Lesser Himalayan Sequence.  Pelitic and psammitic schist, quartzite, calc-quartzite, dolomitic marble, graphitic schist, gneiss are the main rock types within the Lesser Himalayan Sequence,  whereas banded gneiss and quartzite form a significant portion of the Higher Himalayan Crystalline in the study area. The area is affected by poly-phase deformation. Lesser Himalayan Sequence has suffered five deformational phases (DL1-DL2, D3-D5) whereas the Higher Himalayan Crystalline has suffered four deformational events (DH1, D3-D5). The Lesser Himalayan Sequence lying to the northern limb of the Gorkha-Kuncha Anticlinorium is contort into doubly plunging to dome-and-basin-like en echelon type of non-cylindrical folds as Baluwa Dome and Pokharatar Basin (DL2 and D4). The direction of shearing as indicated by shear sense indicators (C' Shear band and Mica fish) is top-to-south coinciding with regional sense of shear related to the MCT propagation. The dynamic recrystallization direction, obtained from rock dominant with phyllosilicate minerals is top-to-south and coincides with mineral lineation and indicate the mineral lineation is contemporary with dynamic recrystallization during the MCT propagation.

Geological mapping was carried out along the Phalamdanda-Dhuwakot section of west-central Nepal in the Lesser Himalaya. The aim of geological mapping was to prospect the metallic mineral resources in the area especially to assess the geological control of mineralization as prognostic mapping and study the genesis of mineralization. The area has developed low-grade metamorphic rocks of the Nawakot Group. Geological rock units like the Kuncha Formation, Fagfog Quartzite, Dandagaon Phyllite, Nourpul Formation and Dhading Dolomite are mapped in the area. Jal Bhanjyang Thrust carries the more older rocks of the Nourpul Formation over the Dhading Dolomite. The area is highly deformed as indicated by presence of folds. Outliers of Fagfog Quartzite and Dhading Dolomite are developed at the core part of the syncline. Phalamdada iron and Anbu Khaireni as well as Dharapani copper are the major metallic deposits reported in the area. Both deposits are considered as the syngenetic in nature. Bulletin of Department of Geology, vol. 20-21, 2018, pp:59-64

Neogene fluvial sedimentary sequences of the Siwalik Group are extensively accumulated in the southern frontal part of the Himalaya and well exposed in the Tinau Khola section of the west-central Nepal Himalaya. The group reveals a coarsening­ upwards succession in general but many fining-upwards fluvial successions on a scale from several to tens of metres is established in each lithological unit. The paleohydrological characteristics have been estimated using thickness of fining upwards fluvial successions, their grain diameters, and bedforms. The paleohydrology suggests an increase in flow velocity, channel slope gradient, and discharge of the fluvial system. Paleovelocity varies from 0.17 to 5.31 m/s, paleochannel gradient and paleodischarge change from l.13x10-5 to 7.33x10-4 m/m and 101 to 104 m3/s, respectively towards the stratigraphic top. These progressively changing paleohydrological characteristics reflect the southward propagation of thrusts caused by the upheaval of the Himalaya.

The Himalaya

The study was carried out in the Lesser Himalaya between Ridi-Shantipur area of the Gulmi District, west-central Nepal. Two geological units: the Nourpul Formation and the Dhading Dolomite were mapped in the area. These units belong to the Nawakot Group as explained by several researchers in central Nepal. The Nourpul Formation can further be divided into three members based on distinct mappable lithology, which are named as the Lower Member, the Middle Member and the Upper Member, respectively. The area is highly folded with several local and regional anticlines and synclines; Ridi Khola Anticline, Ridi-Karikot Syncline, Ruru Anticline, Baletaksar-Gwadi Syncline, Huga-Bamgha Anticline, Rimuwa-Rudrabeni Syncline, Juhan-Eksing Anticline, Juniya-Limgha Syncline, Bharse-Thaple Anticline, and Chiureko Syncline, respectively from the south to the north. All the folds are trending along to the ESE-WNW direction. The origin of these folds can be linked with the thrust propagation in the Himalaya that can be explained with the deformation event D4. The Harewa Khola Thrust is the only one regional scale thrust mapped in the area. The thrust carries the older Nourpul Formation over the Dhading Dolomite with the indications of thrust related features like slickensides and fault-breccias. The thrust seems to propagate to the north. There is a continuous shear zone mapped in the outcrops from the Tal Khola-Aslewa-Eksingh-Gudrung-Juhang- Rupakot region as an indicator of the presence of the Badi Gad Fault in the region.

Gurungkura is the Nepali name of a language spoken in West Central Nepal by the Gurung tribe.2 These studies are based on the speech of G./Lieut. Ganesh Gurung, M.C., l/2nd K.E.O. Goorkha Rifles, who during 1950 was seconded for duty as a research assistant at the School of Oriental and African Studies.
