Peaks of the Himalayas

Contrary to popular belief, the Himalayas is a non-continuous range segmented at various places, forming several subranges. Other times, the Himalayas consists of a cluster of mountains on a separate latitude. As such, clustered mountains in the Himalayas are roughly grouped together by regions, sometimes called Himal.
