Abstract

The region of the Central Himalayas is divided into the four parallel zones of Tarai-Bhabhar, the Lesser Himalayas, the Greater Himalayas, and the Trans-Himalayas. Geographically, it spreads over an area of around 54,000 square kilometers. Spatially, it is divided into two subdivisions – Garhwal and Kumaon (both in Uttarakhand state). Garhwal is made up of Chamoli, Dehradun, Pauri, Tehri, and Uttarkashi districts, and the area of Kumaon includes the districts of Almora, Bageshwar, Champawat, Nainital, Pithoragarh, and Udham Singh Nagar
