Relief and Structure of Himachal Pradesh
The area covered by Himachal Pradesh lies in most complicated geological regions of
Outer or sub-Himalayan zone,
Lower Himalayan zone,
Higher Himalayan zone,
Tethys Himalayan zone.
The highest relative relief (more than 5,100 m) is found in the eastern part of the state, covering the western part of Kinnaur, the northeastern margin of Shimla, and the southeastern extreme of Kullu districts.
In the peripheral area of this belt, a very narrow belt showing high relative relief (between 3,400 and 4,200 m) is noticeable.
Another belt of high relative relief (between 2,400 and 3,300 m) extends over the state from north to southeast direction and it includes the northeastern part of Chamba, Bara Bhangal area of Kangra, western and southwestern portions of Lahaul and Spiti, eastern part of Shimla, and major portions of Kinnaur and Kullu districts.
In the northwestern portion of the state, the relative relief is mainly between 2,000 and 2,700 m. In the northern, central, and southeastern parts of the state, the value of relative relief ranges between 1,300 and 2,000 m.
The areas with comparatively low relative relief, between 600 and 1,300 m, are the northwestern and central parts of Kangra, the eastern portion of Hamirpur and Bilaspur districts, the most part of Mandi, the entire Solan district, the western and central portions of Shimla district, and the northwestern and central parts of Sirmaur district. Relative relief less than 600 m is found in the western and southern margins of the state.
Located entirely in the western Himalaya, Himachal Pradesh not only has diversity in relief features but also in slope of the land.
Nearly 70 % of the state area is covered by steep to very steep sloping land, about 19 % is covered by moderate to moderately steep slope, and only about 11 % is covered by gentle to nearly level slopes. A
lmost the entire districts of Lahaul and Spiti and Kinnaur (except a narrow strip along the rivers) have rock outcrops and very steep slopes.
The district of Chamba, northern Kangra, Kullu and parts of Shimla, and Sirmaur and Solan districts are characterized by steep slopes and moderately steep slopes.
Moderate sloping land is seen along the river valleys in the Kullu and Shimla districts. Level to gentle sloping land is limited to the southern Kangra and parts of Mandi district, the dun valleys of Una, Hamirpur, Bilaspur, Solan and Sirmaur districts.
