Hey guys this is your answer
Western Himalayas
Extends till west of River Kali (around 80°E Longitude).
Height of the mountains from the plains in this part rises in a number of stages. The high mountain ranges are at a long distance from the plains
Amount of rainfall here is less and is 1/4th of that of Eastern Himalayas.
The altitude of the Western Himalayas is higher than the Eastern Himalayas
Eastern Himalayas
This is considered to be ranging from east of the Singalila ranges in Sikkim (88°E Longitudes) to eastern boundaries of Himalayas.
Much ahead from western Himalayas in terms of Biodiversity and is one of the Biodiversity hotspots
This part rises abruptly from the plains, thus peaks are not faraway from the plains (Example: Kanchenjunga)
This region receives 4 times more rainfall than western Himalayas. Due to high rainfalls, it is covered with dense forests.
