The correct answer is option 3 - Zanskar and Pir Panjal.

The Kashmir Valley is located in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir and is nestled in the mighty Himalayas. It is surrounded by mountain ranges on all sides, providing it with natural beauty and isolation.

Option 1: Siwalik and Pir Panjal. The Siwalik range is the outermost range of the Himalayas, while the Pir Panjal range is a subrange within the Himalayas. This option does not include the Zanskar range, which is necessary for the correct answer.

Option 2: Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar. The Pir Panjal range is mentioned correctly, but the Dhauladhar range is not relevant to the Kashmir Valley, so this option is incorrect.

Option 3: Zanskar and Pir Panjal. This is the correct answer. The Zanskar range and the Pir Panjal range both surround the Kashmir Valley, creating a natural barrier and providing breathtaking views.

Option 4: Dhauladhar and Zanskar. The Dhauladhar range is not relevant to the Kashmir Valley, so this option is incorrect.
