LUMLE ONE OF THE TOURISTIC PLACE OF
NEPAL
Nepal is the mountainous country located on the lap of
Himalayas. Nepal occupies 0.003% area of the world and 0.3% area of the
continent Asia. The elevation of Nepal ranges from 60m to 8848m. The clear cool
water, the gentle breezes, the cooling rivers, the bubbling springs, the fresh
water lakes and the snow clad mountains of Nepal are very charming indeed.
According to geographical condition, Nepal is divided into three regions, they are:
Terai region, Hilly region and Himalayan region. The Himalayas of Nepal can be
sub-divided into five tectonic zones from south to north. The Himalayan range
is about2400K.M long and extends from the Indus river of Pakistan in the west
to Assam in the east. Hagen was the earliest research contributor, who had
worked in the Himalayas, to propose the geologic and physiographic subdivision
of the Himalayas. The geological subdivision of Nepal according to Hagen are:-
I)v Terai Zone.
ii) Sub-Himalayas or churia zone.
iii) Lesser Himalayan Zone.
iv) Higher Himalayan Zone.
v) Tibetan-Tethys Zone.
Lesser Himalayan zone of Nepal
forms the major geological zone and is important in majority of hill population
point of view.
Most of the population of Nepal
is concentrated in hilly area. We can say that Nepal is the country of villages
as most of the population of Nepal lives in village area. To conduct the
administrative works more efficiently and to provide the required facilities to
the people on their own village, Nepal is divided into the village Development
committees(VDC’s). there are 3915 VDC’s in Nepal. Among 3915 VDC’s of Nepal
Lumle VDC is the one which lies in hilly area.
