Nepal is more explained by its natural beauty of mountain, which have been formed due to continental collision during geological past of approx. 22 million years ago. The Mountain Range of Nepal holds a huge geological history and are rich in geological units of Higher Himalayan Crystalline and Tibetan Tethys Sedimentary Sequence. Each year tourists from different countries visit Nepal for the glorious high hill peak trekking and mountaineering. Tourists are more curious about the minerals, gemstones and rocks of Nepal Himalaya. This paper presents the geology along the Annapurna Mountain Range, so that the tourist can visualize the geological evolution during geological time period. Literature review holds a major part in this research work. Various geological information was collected and used to finalize this research work. Maps, cross sections, and photographs are the main output of this paper.
