Which of the following is NOT a Himalayan range?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Satpura.

The Satpura Range is NOT a Himalayan range. While the Himalayas are located in northern India and are the youngest fold mountains in the world, the Satpura Range is situated in central India. It runs through states like Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat, forming a watershed between the Narmada and Tapti rivers. The Pir Panjal, Shivalik, and Dhaula Dhar are all prominent sub-ranges of the mighty Himalayas.
