Detailed explanation-2: -Outer Himalayas are called Siwalik likewise spelt as Shiwalik, they are the sub-Himalayan range of the northern Indian subcontinent. It expands west-northwestward for an extra 1, 000 miles from the Tisza River in Sikkim state through Nepal, across northwestern India, and into northern Pakistan.
