Abstract
The hills and mountains of Himachal Pradesh are liable to suffer landslides during monsoons and also in high intensity earthquakes. The vulnerability of the geologically young and no so stable steep slopes in various Himalayan ranges has been increasing at a rapid rate in the recent decades due to inappropriate human activity like deforestation, road cutting, terracing and changes in agricultural crops requiring more intense watering etc. The aim of the present research paper to highlight the major landslides in Himachal Pradesh and also focused causes, impacts and Prevention mitigation strategies for landslides reduction.
