Kumaon Himalaya is considered between which river pair?

Correct answer: Satluj and Kali

Correct answer: C, Satluj and Kali. The Himalayas are divided into regional sections using important rivers as boundaries. In the usual west-to-east regional classification, the Punjab Himalaya lies between the Indus and Satluj, the Kumaon Himalaya lies between the Satluj and Kali, the Nepal Himalaya lies between the Kali and Teesta, and the Assam Himalaya lies between the Teesta and Dihang. Therefore, when the two boundary rivers are Satluj on the west and Kali on the east, the section is Kumaon Himalaya. Option A is the Punjab Himalaya boundary, not Kumaon. Option B gives the boundaries of Nepal Himalaya, not Kumaon. Option C is correct because it gives the exact pair Satluj–Kali. Option D gives the boundaries of Assam Himalaya. Memory cue: “Satluj to Kali = Kumaon”; also remember that these river pairs are read from west to east.
