Inner Himalaya, Central Himalaya or Himadri.Average elevation of 6,100 m above sea level and an average width of about 25 km.It is mainly formed of the central crystallines (granites and gneisses) overlain by metamorphosed sediments [limestone]. {Rock System}The folds in this range are asymmetrical with steep south slope and gentle north slope giving ‘hog back (a long, steep hill or mountain ridge)’ topography
Himachal or Lower Himalaya.Lower Himalayan ranges are 60-80 km wide and about 2400 km in length.Elevations vary from 3,500 to 4,500 m above sea level.Many peaks are more than 5,050 m above sea level and are snow covered throughout the year.Lower Himalayas have steep, bare southern slopes [steep slopes prevents soil formation]and more gentle, forest covered northern slopes.

Himadri range has a much higher average altitude than Himachal range.
Explanation:
- Himadri range is the 'northernmost range of Himalayas' and also known as greater Himalayas.
- The average altitude is around 6000 meters from sea level. This range is home to majestic mountains.
- It includes peaks like K2, Mt. Everest, Nanga Parbat.
- Himachal range lies in the south of Himadri range and is also known as lesser Himalayas.
- The altitude in this ranges from 3700-4500 meters above sea level. This range acts as shelter to many hill stations like Mussoorie, Shimla etc.
- Himachal range is quite 'rugged' and made up of 'compressed rocks'.
