The Sivalik Hills is a mountain range of the outer Himalayas. It is about 2,400 km (1,500 mi) long enclosing an area that starts almost from the Indus and ends close to the Brahmaputra, with a gap of about 90 kilometres (56 mi) between the Teesta and Raidak rivers in Assam. The width of the Sivalik Hills varies from 10 to 50 km (6.2 to 31.1 mi), their average elevation is 1,500 to 2,000 m (4,900 to 6,600 ft).[1]

In some Sanskrit texts, the region is called Manak Parbat.[2] Sivalik literally means 'tresses of Shiva’.[3]

Reasons:

  • The Shiwalik Hills are an outer Himalayan mountain range. It's roughly 2,400 miles. Forest growth depends on the amount of sunlight received and the amount of rainfall.
  • Thanks to the south-western monsoon winds which move west along the southern slopes, the southern slopes of the Himalayas produce further precipitation. So there are dense woods on the Shiwalik slopes.
  • Geologically, the Shiwalik Hills belong to the outer Himalayan tertiary deposits. They consist mainly of conglomerate and sandstone rock formations, which constitute the Himalayan solidified detritus.
