The Indian Peninsula drifted towards the north and finally collided with the much larger Eurasian Plate. As a result of this collision, the sedimentary rocks which were accumulated in the geosynclines (known as Tethys) got folded and formed the mountain systems of the West Asia and Himalayas.
The ranges:-
The northernmost is the Great Himalaya or Himadri. The world's highest peaks are located in this range.
Middle Himalaya or Himachal is located to the south of Himadri.
The Shiwalik is the southernmost range.
