ACKNOWLEDGEMENT


One showing is worth hundreds saying!

Of course, theoretical lecture only, can do nothing to know the earth.
To feel the earth, one must touch its soul. This field trip on engineering geology is basically बसेद on this aspect.
At every step, a civil engineer has to encounter earth, as a material or as construction site. So it proves the importance of geology to civil engineering professionals. He or she must go through the inner core of engineering geology for his/her perfection and for professionalism.
The trip was really fruitful to us and certainly we got a lot of knowledge about the earth.

We express our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Praksh Chandra Ghimire sir and Mr. Ajaya sir for guiding us in the different geological strata in the field as well as shearing us with their most valuable time and highly skilled knowledge in field and giving us complete suggestions. We also express our deep sense of gratitude to other geologist from TU for their guidance during field visit. At last, we would like to thank all our friends of other groups who cooperate kindly in team work.

Above all else we would like to say that we were deeply indebted to all those who were directly or indirectly involved during the tour and the completion this report.
