Abstract
This article reviews geometric model parameters (length, width, depth, dip angle, and strike) of the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) in Eastern, Western, Central, and other portions of the Himalaya. It is expected that when a fieldworker works on the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT), these compiled data will be useful in generating models involving subsurface and surface data sets.
