Height of himalayas is 8,8,48 meters.(Considering its height peak-Mt.Everest)

(The Great Himalayas, the highest zone, consists of a huge line of snowy peaks with an average height exceeding 6,100 m (20,000 ft). The width of this zone, composed largely but not entirely of gneiss and granite, is about 24 km (about 15 mi). Spurs from the Great Himalayas project southwards into the Middle Himalayas in an irregular fashion. The Nepal and Sikkim (a state of northern India) portion of the Great Himalayas contains the greatest number of high peaks. The snow line on the southern slopes of the Great Himalayas varies from 4,480 m (14,700 ft) in the eastern and central Himalayas of Nepal and Sikkim to 5,180 m (17,000 ft) in the western Himalayas. To the north of the Great Himalayas are several ranges such as the Zāskār, Ladakh, and the Kailas. The Karakoram Range lies on the Tibetan side of the Great Himalayas.)

The Himalayas are divided into several parallel ranges from south to north (Mount Everest at a height of 8848m is the highest peak .)

- Sub Himalayas. (With an average altitude of 900 - 1,200 meters.)

- Lower Himalayas. (With an average altitude of 3,700 meters.)

- Great Himalayas. (A single range rising above 6,000 meters with nine of the 14 highest peaks in the world, including Mt Everest.)

- Tibetan Himalayas. (Tibet Plateau, with an average altitude 4,000 - 4,5900 meters, well known as the Roof of the World.)

The Karakoram Range in the northwest is also sometimes considered as part of the Himalayas system.
