The correct answer for the question is option 1, Himadri. The Greater Himalayas are also known as Himadri. It is the northernmost range of the Himalayas and has the highest peaks, including Mount Everest and Kanchenjunga. The term "Himadri" is derived from Sanskrit, where "Hima" means snow and "Adri" means mountain. This name aptly describes the Greater Himalayas as they are known for their snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and alpine landscapes. The Greater Himalayas span across several countries including India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet. They play a significant role in shaping the climate, ecology, and culture of the regions they traverse.
