Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify rainfall thresholds for landslides in the Helambu rural municipality and Panchpokhari Thangpal rural municipality region by evaluating historical rainfall and landslides data. We can improve the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology's early warning capabilities by determining the crucial rainfall intensity and duration that cause landslides. Integrating these limits into the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology's forecasting system will allow for the prompt and effective transmission of landslide warnings, decreasing the impact of such disasters on local communities.
The broader goal of this project is to reduce risk of landslide hazards to minimize loss of lives and damage of properties in Nepal.
