This mountain range extending all the way from Himachal Pradesh to Kashmir, is also known as the Outer Himalayas or Lesser Himalayas. It begins from near Dalhousie at the northwest end of Himachal Pradesh and passes through the state to the vicinity of the bank of the Beas River in the Kulu district of Himachal Pradesh.. This mountain range is distinctive in the typical dark granite rocky formations with a remarkably steep rise culminating in sharp streaks of snow and ice at the top of their crested peaks.
The elevation of the Dhauladhars ranges widely from 3,500 m to nearly 6,000 m.
