Short information about the geomorphological field trip in the Nepalese Himalayas. The field trip was conceived as a traverse across the entire High Himalayan system, travelling along the Kali Gandaki River up to the Thakkhola Graben, and passing between the Annapurna-Nilgiri Range and the Dhaulagiri. The field trip was largely focused of various aspects related to hazardous geomorphological processes associated with an extreme mountain environment: high local relief and rapid tectonic uplift, glaciated mountains, frequent large earthquakes, severe and contrasting monsoonal precipitation, and unregulated rivers.
