A two-day field visit for the Engineering Geology II course was organized for the Civil Engineering students of the 081 Batch (Groups I/II – AB and CD) on 2nd–3rd Ashad (CD) and 4th–5th Ashad (AB), 2082. The visit took place in Malekhu and Gorkha, chosen for their accessibility and relevance to the course objectives. The sites provided valuable exposure to various geological hazards, slope conditions, and engineering geological practices, including a field observation of the test adit of the 900 MW Budhigandaki Hydroelectric Project. The main objectives of the visit included studying mass movements, evaluating protective and preventive measures, performing rock mass classification using the RMR method, conducting kinematic slope analysis, and observing roadside bioengineering and hydraulic structure site selection.
The schedule began with departure and hotel check-in on Day 1, followed by practical fieldwork on rock classification and slope stability, and an evening class that focused on tunneling methods, portal stabilization, and support systems. On Day 2, students visited the Budhigandaki HPP to study the dam site, test tunnels, and tunnel support systems, as well as conduct a field study at the Krishnabhir landslide area. Activities during the visit included direct observation of tunnel and slope conditions, classroom discussions on geotechnical engineering practices, and evaluation of landslide mitigation, bio-engineering applications, and site suitability for hydraulic infrastructure. The visit was successfully carried out, fulfilling all intended objectives with the guidance of Mr. Sunil Lamsal, Er. Anil Kasula and Mr. Raju Chhukan.
