Hint: The divisions of the Himalayas include the Shivaliks or outer Himmalayas, Lesser or middle Himalayas and the Greater Himalayas. Besides these, the Trans Himalayas and the Eastern hills are also found in north India.

 Complete Step by Step answer: The Pir Panjal, Dhauladhar and Mahabharat ranges are a part of Himachal range. Pir Panjal is the largest range on the Lesser Himalayas. The Himalayas show a greater advancement towards the Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar range.
 Manimahesh Kailash Peak is 5,653 metres which is the highest peak of Pir Panjal range, the highest peak of Dhauladhar range is Hanuman Tibba which is 5180 m and the highest peak of Mahabharat range is Mount Kailas which is 6714m.The Himachal range is also called the Lower Himalayas which has an elevation of 3,700 to 4,500 m.
The elevation of Himachal range is 3700 to 4500 m. Himachal means ‘Land of snowy mountains’. The Haji Pir Pass is on the western Pir Panjal range. The Pir Panjal range connects with the road between Poonch and Uri. The Rohtang pass is on the eastern side of Pir Panjal range.
The Dhauladhar range begins from near Dalhousie and passes through the vicinity of Beas river and Kullu district. The elevation of Dhauladhar range is 3,000m to 6,000m. It receives two monsoons a year. Lam Dal is the biggest glacier. The elevation of the Mahabharat range is 1500 to 2700 m. The range causes a hydrographic barrier and therefore there are very few rivers.

Note: Himachal Pradesh is a tourist paradise. The most enchanting hill stations are Spiti, Kasauli, Dharamsala, Kufri and others. While answering this question be careful to know about the different divisions of the Himalayas and the mountain ranges that fall on each part and their elevations and highest peaks.
