Himadri: is the highest mountain range of the Himalayan Range System, part of the Alpide belt. This range is separated from Trans Himalaya mountain ranges by the Main Central Thrust Fault, which lies north of it.
Himachal:is a major east-west mountain range with elevations 3,700 to 4,500 m (12,000 to 14,500 feet) [1] along the crest, paralleling the much higher High Himalayas range from the Indus River in Pakistan across northern India, Nepal, Sikkim and Bhutan but then the two ranges become increasingly difficult to differentiate east of Bhutan as the ranges approach the Brahmaputra River.
Shivaliks:are a mountain range of the outer Himalayas that stretches from the Indus River about 2,400 km (1,500 mi) eastwards close to the Brahmaputra River, through parts of both Nepal and India. It is 10–50 km (6.2–31.1 mi) wide with an average altitude of 1,500–2,000 m (4,900–6,600 ft). Between the Teesta and Raidāk Rivers in Assam is a gap of about 90 km (56 mi). In some Sanskrit texts, the region is called Manak Parbat.[1] Sivalik literally means 'tresses of Shiva’.[2]
