The southern range has three parallel zones: the Great Himalayas, the perpetually snow-covered main range in which the highest peaks (average elevation 20,000 ft/6,100 m) are found; the Lesser Himalayas with 7,000 to 15,000 ft (2,130-4,570 m) elevations; and the southernmost Outer Himalayas, 2,000 to 5,000 ft (610-1,520 m) high.
