The Trans-Himalayan ranges are also called the Tibetan Himalaya because most of it lies in Tibet.
The Zaskar, the Ladakh, the Kailas and the Karakoram are the main ranges.
It stretches for a distance of about 1,000 km in east-west direction.
Average elevation is 3000 m above mean sea level.
The average width of this region is 40 km at the extremities and about 225 km in the central part.
The Himalayas consist of three parallel ranges, the Greater Himalayas known as the Himadri, the Lesser Himalayas called the Himachal, and the Shivalik hills, which comprise the foothills.
The Nanga Parbat (8126m) is an important range which is in the Zaskar Range.
North of the Zaskar Range and running parallel to it is the Ladakh Range. Only a few peaks of this range attain heights of over 6000 metres.
The Kailas Range in western Tibet is an offshoot of the Ladakh Range. The highest peak is Mount Kailas (6714m). River Indus originates from the northern slopes of the Kailas range.
The northern most range of the Trans-Himalayan Ranges in India is the Great Karakoram Range also known as the Krishnagiri range.
