Himachal Pradesh is hill state of India and widely affected by natural disasters. This is mainly vulnerable to earthquake and landslide. Landslide occurs when soil slides downward and outward respect to remaining mass. This review article has shown current study of causal factor done for landslide occurrence in the area. It is found that the change in climatic conditions such as increase in precipitation over years, geological, hydro-geological variables, earthquakes and anthropogenic interference has increased the landslide susceptibility of area. Use of landslide susceptibility zonation provides good idea for land use pattern. Several feasible solutions are also discussed.
