The earth is composed of several plates. In the past there was only one huge land mass or the Pangea.
This Pangea broke up and drifted apart from one another.
The Gondwana land was the southern part of this Pangea.
Due to conventional current, this Gondwana land was further broken down and split into several parts.
One part of this Gondwana, the Indo-Australian plate started drifting towards the North.
As a result it collided with the Eurasian plate in the North.
This collision caused the sedimentary deposition of the Tethys to get folded forming the Himalayas.

1)• Collision,The Himalayan mountain range have formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate which began 50 million years ago and continues today. 225 million years ago (Ma) India was a large island situated off the Australian coast and separated from Asia by the Tethys Ocean.
2)• Plate Tectonic theory, has stated that Himalayas are result of tectonic movements.
3)• So it has orginated from the Tethys Geosyncline . the sediments of this folded due to the northward movement of the Indian plate against the Eurasian Plate.
These have been in origin from about 65-70 million years ago.
The Himalayan range has been formed by many major and minor ranges that run parallel to each other .
