Out of the 15 major highways, only two highways connect the Kathmandu valley from rest of the country. Among them Prithvi highway is the important one. However, bad alignment, bad topographical and geological condition and faulty construction and maintenance technology make this highway very prone to landslides and other mass movement problems causing much woe since many years. Some parts of this highway are used to block due to mass movements and threaten the traffic during monsoon every year. This report deals some major mass movement problems along this highway and is primarily based on the field visit along the Prithvi highway, Nepal.}, pages = {85--92}, title = {Mass movement problems along Prithvi Highway, Nepal}, volume = {23}, year = {2001} }
