Dhauladhar Range

• 10 Jun 2020

• Dhauladhar mountain range was recently in news as it was visible from Jalandhar, Punjab for the first time because of less air pollution caused by the lockdown.
• Dhauladhar range is part of a Lesser Himalaya (The Middle or Lesser Himalaya, sometimes also called Himachal or Lower Himalaya lies between the Shiwaliks in the South and Greater Himalayas in the North. It runs almost parallel to both the ranges). It rises from the Indian plains to the north of Kangra and Mandi in Himachal Pradesh and ends near Badrinath, Uttarakhand.
• Dhauladhar ranges are the extension of Pir Panjal into Himachal Pradesh. They are cut across by the river Ravi.
