Explanation:
1. The Zaskar Range or Zanskar Range is a mountain range in the Indian regions of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, that separates Zanskar from Ladakh.[1] Geologically, the Zanskar Range is part of the Tethys Himalaya, an approximately 100-km-wide synclinorium formed by strongly folded and imbricated, weakly metamorphosed sedimentary series. The average height of the Zanskar Range is about 6,000 m (19,700 ft). Its eastern part is known as Rupshu. It belongs to the trans-Himalayas.[2]
2.The Karakoram is a mountain range spanning the borders of India, Pakistan and China with the northwest extremity of the range extending to Afghanistan and Tajikistan. It begins in the Wakhan Corridor (Afghanistan) in the west and encompasses the majority of Gilgit-Baltistan (Pakistan) and extends into Ladakh (India) and the disputed Aksai Chin region controlled by China. It is the second highest mountain range in the world and part of the complex of ranges including the Pamir Mountains, the Hindu Kush and the Himalayan Mountains.[1][2] The Karakoram has eight summits over 7,500 m (24,600 ft) height, with four of them exceeding 8,000 m (26,000 ft):[3] K2, the second highest peak in the world at 8,611 m (28,251 ft), Gasherbrum I, Broad Peak and Gasherbrum II.
3. The Ladakh Range is a mountain range in central Ladakh in the Indian Union territory of Ladakh with its northern tip extending into Ladakh in india. It lies between the Indus and Shyok river valleys, stretching to 230 miles (370 km).[1] Leh, the capital city of Ladakh, is on the foot of Ladakh Range in the Indus river valley.
4.Mount Kailas is an important holy site, both to the Hindus, who identify it with the paradise of Shiva (one of the three supreme gods of Hinduism), and to the Tibetan Buddhists, who identify it as Mount Sumeru, cosmic centre of the universe. Although religious pilgrimages to both Mount Kailas and Lake Mapam were permitted after the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1951 and guaranteed in the Sino-Indian Treaty of 1954, access was restricted after the subsequent Tibetan rising was suppressed, and the frontier was closed in 1962. Access to the area from the south is through the high Lipulieke (Lipu Lekh) Pass. The Indus River rises on the north flank of the Kailas Range.
