Answer:

parallel mountain ranges in the northern range going to east to west​

Explanation:

The Indian Himalayan Region (abbreviated to IHR) is the section of the Himalayas within India, spanning 11 Indian states and union territories, namely the regions of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh administered by India as UTs, and states of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim,[1] Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Meghalaya and Assam.[2][3] The region is responsible for providing water to a large part of the Indian subcontinent and contains various flora and fauna.[4]

Physiographically, the IHR starts from the foothills of south (Shivaliks) and extends up to the Tibetan plateau on the north (Trans-Himalaya). Three major geographical entities, the Himadri (greater Himalaya), Himanchal (lesser Himalaya) and the Shiwaliks (outer Himalaya), extend almost uninterrupted throughout its length and are separated by major geological fault lines. Mighty but older waterways like the Indus, Sutlej, Kali, Kosi and Brahmaputra cut through the IHR's steep gorges to escape into the Great Plains, establishing their antecedence.
