Landslides are more widespread than any other geological event and can occur anywhere in the world. They occur when large masses of soil, rocks, or debris move down a slope due to the effect of a natural phenomenon or human activity. Landslides are one of the major natural disasters that are frequently occurring in the Indian Himalayas causing considerable loss of lives and property every year. In Garhwal Himalaya of Uttarakhand state such landslide disasters occur very frequently. A few examples in the recent past are Malpa landslide in 1998, Phata landslide in 2001, Uttarkashi landslide in 2003, Pithoragarh landslide in 2009 and Bageshwar landslide in 2010. Flash floods due to cloudbursts and breaching of temporary landslide dams in river valleys also occur frequently and one of the most severe one is the recent flash flood along with debris flow at Kedarnath on 16–17 June 2013 claiming more than a thousand casualties. A proper landslide hazard assessment is imperative to minimize such losses.
