It contains almost all the prominent peaks, including Mount Everest ($8,848.86$ meters), Kanchenjunga, and Lhotse.The Lesser Himalayas (Himachal): Located south of the Himadri, this range is known for its famous hill stations like Shimla and Mussoorie.The Shiwalik Range: The outermost range of the Himalayas, consisting of unconsolidated sediments.Why the other options are incorrect:The Sivalik Range: These are the "foothills" of the Himalayas. Their average altitude is much lower ($900$ to $1,100$ meters).Nilgiris Range: These are located in Southern India (part of the Western Ghats), thousands of miles away from the Himalayas.Aravalli Range: One of the oldest fold mountain systems in the world, running through Rajasthan and Haryana; it is not part of the Himalayan system.
