The Darjeeling-Sikkim Himalaya (DSH) region constitutes a singular convergence of geological marvels and rich geoheritage. Famous for its breathtaking vistas and abundant wildlife, this region is important for environmental and geological research in addition to being a tourist destination. The region of Darjeeling and Sikkim is renowned for its intricate geological formations, which comprise thrust faults, fold belts and seismic slip lines. Frequent and occasionally strong seismic events are caused by the tectonic activity in the DSH. Given that the area is in seismic zone IV, there is a significant risk of earthquakes. The release of stored tectonic stress along fault lines is the main source of earthquakes in this region. With its distinct location at the meeting point of the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates and its intricate geological past, it offers tremendous potential for furthering our knowledge of geomorphology, metamorphism and mountain formation.
