Abstract
Landslide susceptibility assessment along the Araniko highway was done using the relationship between the landslide causative factor and presence/absence of landslide using linear discriminant analysis, and divided into Low, Medium, High, and Very High susceptibility zone. The spatial analysis of landslide distribution with its conditioning factors depicts 40°-60° of the slope, South-east and South direction of aspect, 0–5 km North from MCT, 10–20 km of distance from the epicentre, where barren land and forest area are found most susceptible to a landslide. This research can help undertake the proper mitigation and adaptation measures for the landslide risk along the Araniko highway.
