The Kumaon Himalayas are a part of the Himalayan mountain range located in the state of Uttarakhand, India, and also extend into parts of western Nepal. Based on the traditional regional division of the Himalayas from west to east, they are situated between the Satluj River to the west and the Kali River (which forms part of the border between India and Nepal) to the east.
– The regional division of the Himalayas is based on river valleys.
– The Himalayas between the Indus and Satluj rivers are known as Punjab Himalayas.
– The Himalayas between the Satluj and Kali rivers are known as Kumaon Himalayas.
– The Himalayas between the Kali and Tista rivers are known as Nepal Himalayas.
– The Himalayas between the Tista and Brahmaputra (Dihang) rivers are known as Assam Himalayas.
This regional classification was proposed by Sydney Burrard. The Kumaon Himalayas include famous peaks like Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Kamet, and major pilgrimage centers like Badrinath and Kedarnath.
