The excursion is aimed to showcase the exceptionally beautiful landscape and hazard potential of the mighty Himalaya. The journey begins from the Indian Plate (Indo-Gangetic Plain) climbing up to the Eurasian Plate – after seeing the present plate boundary of one of the most seismically active zones of the world – The Himalaya. The field excursion shall explore the active fault topography along the frontal as well as hinterland active faults – the Himalayan Frontal Thrust, Pinjore Garden Fault, the Khetpurali-Taksal Fault, and the Kangra Valley Fault. Paleoseismic trench would be one of the attractions to see the signature of the paleo-earthquake, along with a visit to look at the seismic imprints preserved in historical architecture of the Baijnath Temple and the Kangra Fort.
