ABSTRACT The author emphasizes the urgent need for a potential risk mapping in N hills where natural and artificially promoted erosion and slope instability are drastic and threatening the ecological balance. The author describes a potential risk mapping method based only on the relationship between the rook structure an topography. This method is applied to an hundred square kilometers area, west of Walling which is crossed by the road Pokhara - Tansen - Butwal (Siddartha Highway). The author finds that this method is fast and gives a good picture of the condition of the terrain.
