Structural Geology Along the Nainital–Pangot Road (Kilbari Section), Nainital Lesser Himalaya (Uttarakhand, India): Focus on Back-Structures

This chapter presents an interesting track in the Lesser Himalaya aimed for structural geological fieldwork. We report back-structures, mainly back-faults, from the Nainital–Pangot road. We expect geological trainers will find this track interesting and will conduct tectonic fieldwork here. The Department of Geology (Kumaun University) is located close to this study area, and it will be very easy to bring the B.Sc. and M.Sc. students from this department in a say three day fieldtrip to demonstrate and explain these structures.
