The Himalayan Mountains

  1. The Himalayas, geologically young and structurally fold mountains.

  2. The Himalayas represent the loftiest and one of the most rugged mountain barriers of the world.

  3. The Himalaya form an arc, which covers a distance of about 2,400 Km.

  4. Their width varies from 400 Km in Kashmir to 150 Km in Arunachal Pradesh.

  5. There are 3 parallel ranges of the Himalayas:

  1. Great or Inner Himalayas or the Himadri

  2. Himachal or lesser Himalaya

  3. Shiwaliks

Great or Inner Himalayas (Himadri)

  • It is the northernmost and most continuous range of the Himalayas.

  • A number of important glaciers descend from this range, making it a key water source.

  • Contains the loftiest peaks, including Kanchenjunga, Nanda Devi, and Mount Everest (in Nepal).

  • The average height is around 6,000 metres.

  • Composed of granite and is perennially snow-bound.

Himachal or Lesser Himalaya

  • Lies south of the Himadri and forms a rugged mountain system.

  • Altitude varies between 900 to 1100 metres with a width of 10–50 km.

  • Known for gravel and alluvium deposits.
