The three parallel ranges of Himalayas are the Greater Himalayas or Himadri, Lesser Himalayas or Himachal and Shivaliks.
The northernmost part of the Himalayas is named as the Greater Himalayas or Himadri, which is the highest among these three layers and contain the highest peaks, including Mt. Everest.
The next Himalayan range is known as the Lesser Himalayas or Himachal, containing the famous ranges of Dhaula Dhar, Pir Panjal and Mahabharat, as well as all the important hill stations, like Kashmir, Kulu, Kangra Valley and Darjeeling.
The outermost range is called Shivaliks and its height is only 900 to 1000 metres, as it is mainly formed from the deposits of the Himalayan Rivers flowing down from the greater heights.
