The Himalayas are divided into three major divisions from north to south:
1. The Great Himalayas (Himadri): The northernmost range comprises the highest peaks, perpetually snow-covered, including Mount Everest and Kanchenjunga.
2. The Middle Himalayas (Himachal): South of the Great Himalayas, it consists of lower peaks, forested hills, and valleys like the Dhauladhar and Pir Panjal ranges.
3. The Outer Himalayas (Siwalik): The southernmost range, also called the Shivalik Hills, has foothills with less elevation and ruggedness, forming the outer boundary of the Himalayas.
The three major divisions of the Himalayas from north to south are:
a) The northernmost range which is known as the great Himalayas or Inner Himalayas or the Himadri.
b) The range lying to the south of the Himadri which is known as Himachal or the lesser Himalaya.
c) The outermost range of the Himalayas which is known as the Shiwaliks. These are the foothill ranges and represent the southernmost division of the Himalayas.
