Himalayas are ever shifting due to collision of Indian tectonic plate with the Asian plate, the very reason why we have these mighty mountain range.
After a million years, Himalayas would be much higher than what they are today. But the rise cannot be linear. As the Himalaya grow high due to the tectonic push, it also falls down under its own weight. This fall allows Himalayas to grow side wards too.
We might see the Mount Everest much higher than 8848 m (29029 ft). Theoretically on Earth (gravity = 9.81 m/s2), the mountains may grow as high as 49000 ft, but we may never see Everest touching those figures again due to the downward fall.
