Question

Consider the following pairs:
Peak Mountains
1. Namcha Barwa: Garhwal Himalaya
2. Nanda Devi: Kumaon Himalaya
3. Nokrek: Sikkim Himalaya
Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?

Accepted Answer

Let's evaluate the given pairs:

1. Namcha Barwa: Garhwal Himalaya - Namcha Barwa is a mountain in the Himalayas, located in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China and close to the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. It is part of the Eastern Himalayas, not the Garhwal Himalaya (which is in Uttarakhand). So, this pair is incorrectly matched.

2. Nanda Devi: Kumaon Himalaya - Nanda Devi is the second-highest mountain in India and is located in the Garhwal Himalayas region of Uttarakhand, which is a part of the larger Kumaon Himalaya range. So, this pair is correctly matched.

3. Nokrek: Sikkim Himalaya - Nokrek Peak is the highest point of the Garo Hills in the Indian state of Meghalaya, in the North-Eastern region. It is not located in the Sikkim Himalaya. So, this pair is incorrectly matched.
