The third year students are taken to
Butwal-Tansen area in mid western
central Nepal, situated about 280 km west of Kathmandu along the
Siddharth Highway (Sunauli-Pokhara Highway). The department has its own
building at Masyam, Tallo Dumre (Palpa District) and used as a base camp
for conducting the training. The students have the opportunity to study
the Siwaliks and the fossiliferous Lesser Himalayan rocks and learn
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.
