A Physical History of 'Chhantyal': Example from Khungkhani

It is landslide. 'Pahiro' is one of the major problem in most of the chhantyal villages. It goes back to their original history.

Landslide in Khungkhani, this a example of recent degredation.

Our ancestors were used to work in mining. They discovered many useful metals and dug up the whole hills. They were so brave to do that. Still there is proof. This mining leaded to big landslides and other geographical degredation. There are many places called ' Thulo Pairo' ' Sano Pairo' ( Big landslides, small landslides etc.)
