This book serves as a ready reference book for anyone who is interested in the Himalayan geology and apprises the readers with the latest findings. The Himalayan syntaxes compose about one-third of the India-Asia collision zone and encompass a substantial part of the crustal deformation that occurs within the system. The Darjeeling Sikkim Himalaya (DSH) marks the beginning of the Eastern Himalaya, which is the most active orogenic zone, coupled with variable seismicity. It is located between Bhutan to the east and Nepal to the west. In the west, Sikkim shares Kanchenjunga, Earth's third highest mountain, with Nepal, while the ridge line forming Sikkim's eastern border flanks the Yadong-Gulu rift graben. DSH, craved by the river system of Tista, is a large geodynamic laboratory of nature where orogen is still in youth to early mature phases of evolution. Giant-scale endogenous turmoil thoroughly overhauled terrain mostly within the confines of distinct belts or divisions and spectacularly uplifted the terrain in superlative terms. Resting on the foundation of structure, tectonics, geomorphology, stratigraphy, and evolution, the wings of geology extend much further.

Several books, mostly having regional approaches of different scales, have been written on the Himalayan geology with specified intentions. Geological Aspects of the DSH is based on more than direct references and succinctly opens a gateway to variable aspects of mineral study, active tectonics, crustal deformation, tectono-stratigraphy, seismicity, sedimentary geology, palaeontology, landslides, and tectonic geomorphology. The book apprises the readers with the latest findings. The book is addressed to university students for their academic needs and to those who are willing to work in Himalayan terrain. The large number of topics covered in this book is hardly available in any other single book so far. Anyone interested in the geology of the Himalaya might use the book as a quick reference. Different Dimensions of Geology and Geomorphology are described in nine key chapters.
