Abstract

In the present communication a generalized account of geology of the Himalaya has been discussed. This communication is rather an exercise for a beginning which should not be treated as a research note but a simplified version, taken from different published notes. Himalaya is beautiful but environmentally fragile, youngest mountain belt, prone to ecological unstability, intense seismicity but dotted with diverse mineral wealth of both non-renewable and renewable types. Hence, it is still an enigma to understand the mystery of Himalaya.
