Lesser Himalaya is also known by which name?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Himachal

Direct answer: Option A is correct. The Lesser Himalaya is also called Himachal or the Middle Himalaya. It lies between the Greater Himalaya, or Himadri, to the north and the outer Himalayan ranges to the south. Step by step: the Himalayas are commonly divided into parallel ranges; Himadri is the highest and northernmost main range; Himachal is the middle range; the Shiwaliks are the outer range. Therefore the name Himachal matches the Lesser Himalaya. Option B, Himadri, is wrong because it refers to the Greater Himalaya, not the Lesser Himalaya. Option C, Terai, is wrong because it is a wet, marshy belt south of the Bhabar, not a Himalayan mountain range. Option D, Bhabar, is wrong because it is a porous gravel belt at the Himalayan foothills where streams often disappear underground. Exam cue: “Himadri = Greater, Himachal = Lesser, Shiwalik = Outer.”
