Their width varies from 400 km in Kashmir to 150 km Arunachal Pradesh, These mountain ranges run in West-East direction from the Indus to the Brahmaputra Rivers. The altitudinal variations in Himalayas are greater in the Eastern half than those in the Western half. The Himalayas consist of three parallel ranges in its longitudinal extent. A number of valleys lie between these ranges.Himadri or Inner Himalayas or Great Himalayas: The Northern most range is known as the Great or Inner Himalayas or the Himadri. It has an average height of 6000 m. It contains all the prominent Himalayan peaks like Mount Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, etc. Kanchenjunga is the highest peak of the Himalayas in India a height of 8598 m. Whereas the highest peak Mount Everest (8848 m) lies in Nepal. Great Himalayas are snow covered all the year round. The core of this part is posed of granite. The fold of Great Himalayas is asymmetrical in nature.Himachal or Lesser Himalayas: This range, lies to the South of the Himadri and forms the most rugged mountain system. It is composed of highly compressed rocks with height varying from 3700 to 4500 m. The average width of this range of the Himalayas is 50 km. It is composed of ranges like Pir Panjal, Dhaula Dhar. The Pir Panjal range is the longest and the most important range. They also contain the valleys having well-known hill stations in areas like Kashmir, Kangra, Kullu (in Himachal Pradesh Mussoorie, Nainital (Uttarakhand), etc.Shiwalik Range: This is the outermost range of the Himalayas with height varying between 900 and 1100 m. The average width is 10 to 50 km. They are composed of coarse sediments brought down by rivers from the main Himalayan ranges. These valleys are covered with thick gravel and alluvium. The longitudinal valleys lying between the Lesser Himalayas and Shiwaliks are known as Duns with names like Dehra Dun, Kotli Dun and Path Dun.
Regional Division of Himalayas: The Himalayas are also divided on the basis of regions from West to East. This demarcation is done by river valleys, i.e. the Indus, Satluj, Kali, Teesta and Dihang rivers, Punjab, Kumaon and Assam Himalayas: In the West, the part of Himalayas lying between Indus and Satluj has been traditionally known as Punjab Himalaya . But it is also known regionally as Kashmir and Himachal Himalaya from West to East, respectively. The part of the Himalayas lying between Satluj and Kali rivers is known as Kumaon Himalayas. The Kali and Teesta rivers demarcate the Nepal Himalayas and the part lying between Teesta and Dihang rivers is known as Assam Himalayas.
