Abstract
Geomorphological analysis of landform patterns in the Makalu - Barun region of the Nepal Himalaya illustrates their relation to morphotectonic and climate-morphogenetic features of relief-building processes. High-mountain landforms in the Himalaya are the result of morphotectonic processes, as well as the denudation and erosional efficiency in different paleoclimatic conditions during the late Cainozoic.
Dynamic changes of landfrom pattern of the studied area are important evidence of the present-day severe natural hazards.
