The
second year fieldwork training is conducted at Malekhu, lying about 70
km west of Kathmandu along the Kathmandu-Pokhara Highway (Prithvi
Highway). The department has its own building at Malekhu used as a base
camp for conducting the training. The students learn here to use the
geological compass, identifying rocks and minerals and structures and
mapping techniques. At the end of the training, they are required to
prepare a geological map, route maps and cross-sections. They have to
finally submit a geological report to the department, which will be
externally examined and must appear for the viva- voce.
