Himalayan subdivisions and lakes MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

Pangong Tso is a high-altitude lake in the Ladakh region, so it belongs to the Kashmir/Ladakh or Northwestern Himalayas subdivision. The Himachal and Uttarakhand Himalayas lie farther south-east and include ranges around those two states, not Pangong Tso. The Darjeeling and Sikkim Himalayas are part of the eastern Himalayan sector near West Bengal and Sikkim. The Arunachal Himalayas are still farther east. Since the lake is associated with Ladakh, the northwestern Himalayan subdivision is the most appropriate classification.
