Terrace farming is one of the most conspicuous features of the
Uttarakhand Himalayas and form a very beautiful example of the
interaction of humans with nature. These terraces are generally used
for wheat and paddy cultivation and prevent soil erosion and excessive
surface run off by reducing the velocity and there by the erosive
power of water at every step.
