The division of the Himalayas has been demarcated by river valleys:
a) The part of Himalayas lying between Indus and Sutlej has been traditionally known
as Punjab Himalayas but it is also known regionally as Kashmir and Himachal
Himalaya from west to east respectively.
b) The part of the Himalayas lying between Sutlej and Kali rivers is known as
Kumaon Himalayas.
c) The Kali and Tista rivers demarcate the Nepal Himalayas.
d) The part lying between Tista and Dihang rivers is known as Assam Himalayas.
e) The Brahmaputra marks the eastern most boundaries of the Himalayas. Beyond
the Dihang gorge, the Himalayas bend sharply to the south and spread along the
eastern boundary of India. They are known as the Purvanchal or the Eastern hills
and mountains. These hills running through the north-eastern states are mostly
composed of strong sandstones which are sedimentary rocks. Covered with dense
forests, they mostly run as parallel ranges and valleys. The Purvanchal comprises
the Patkai hills, Naga hills, Manipur hills and Mizo hills.
