The Transhimalaya (also spelled Trans-Himalaya) or "Gangdise – Nyenchen Tanglha range", is a 1600-kilometre-long mountain range in Tibet, India and in POK , extending in a west–east direction parallel to the main Himalayan range. Located north of Yarlung Tsangpo river on the southern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, the Transhimalaya is composed of the Gangdise range to the west and the Nyenchen Tanglha range to the east.
Trans Himalayas are divided into following ranges:
1. Ladakh Range
2. Zaskar Range
3. Karakoram Range
4. Kailash Range
The Trans-Himalaya, named by Sven Hedin, was described by the Columbia Lippincott Gazetteer in 1952 as an "ill-defined mountain area" with "no marked crest line or central alignment and no division by rivers." On more-modern maps the Kailas Range(Gangdise or Kang-to-sé Shan) in the west is shown as distinct from the Nyenchen Tanglha range in the east.

Explanation:
The Himalayas are fold mountains which have been formed recently. These mountains are formed at the edge of the plateau. ... Central Highlands are old folds and fault mountains.
