The Siwalik Hills are part of the Himalaya mountain range. The Siwaliks, also known as the Outer Himalayas or the Sub-Himalayas, are a range of foothills that run parallel to the main Himalayan range. They extend across several countries, including India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Pakistan. These hills are characterized by low elevation and are composed of sedimentary rocks and alluvial deposits. The Siwalik Hills play a significant role in the geography, geology, and biodiversity of the region, and they act as an important transition zone between the plains and the higher Himalayas.
