{{mergefrom|Mahabharat Range|discuss=Talk:Lower Himalayan Range#Same as Mahabharat Range|date=April 2011}}{{Unreferenced|auto=yes|date=December 2009}} The '''Lower Himalayan Range''' (also known as the Lesser Himalayan Range or [[Mahabharat Range]]) lies north of the [[Sub-Himalayan Range]] or [[Siwalik Range]] and south of the [[Great Himalayas]]. The height of the mountains varies between 1800 to 4600 meters. Millions of years of folding, faulting and overthrusting has led to the formation of these mountains. They are a part of the three ranges that traverse from East to West in the [[Himalayas]]. ===Pakistan=== In Pakistan these mountains lie just north of [[Rawalpindi district]] covering the districts of [[Batagram District|Batagram]], [[Mansehra district|Mansehra]] and [[Abbottabad district|Abbottabad]] as well as [[Pakistan Administered Kashmir]]. These mountains are also home to Pakistan's important hill stations like [[Murree]], [[Ghora Gali]] and [[Nathia Gali]]. It snows here during a few months of the year but there aren't any [[glaciers]] found in this region. ===India=== The range continues east through the Indian states of [[Jammu and Kashmir]], [[Himachal Pradesh]], [[Uttarakhand]], [[Uttar Pradesh]]. ===Nepal, Bhutan, Eastern India=== The range then enters Nepal, the eastern Indian states of [[Sikkim]] & [[West Bengal]], Then cuts through the country of Bhutan and then re-enters in to the eastern Indian states [[Assam]] and [[Arunachal Pradesh]]. {{coord missing|Uttarakhand}}
