Abstract
Being landlocked, developing and mountainous country Nepal has to cope the various kinds of difficulties such as economic, social,demographic, cultural, political and diplomatic. The country has main three ecological regions namely mountain, hill and Tarai. These three regions manifest not only a diversity of geographical features but also display an immense diversity of human settlement, economic development and infrastructure development.
Study of migration is a dynamic component of demography which mainly depends on individual will and interest. Migration is divided into various branches but in this study it was taken the out-migration of people from study area to particular area as a main title. Growing rate of migration in particular area has become a considerable subject. So the study is focused on the main determinants of migration and seek an acceptables solution for stopping flow of migration from Hill to Tarai.
Out of total migrants, 80 percent seemed to transfer in Tarai belt. So Tarai is facing so many challenges of over population. On the other hand Hill and Mountain are becoming depopulated gradually. However, they secure the largest part of the country. So it is our civil duty to solve such problem of migration in time otherwise it results will be worse and more danger.
At last to reduce such problem of the country the possible suitable alternatives should be implemented to deprived people and regions which are recommended in the study.
