By height These are the 23 highest mountain ranges. All are above . • Part of the
Hindu Kush-
Himalayas region • Part of the
Pamir-
Kunlun region All of the Asian ranges above except the
Alborz and the
Armenian Highlands have been formed in part over the past 35 to 55 million years by the collision between the
Indian Plate and
Eurasian Plate. The Indian Plate is still particularly mobile and these mountain ranges continue to rise in elevation every year and this page may need to be updated in a few years; of these the Himalayas are rising most quickly; the
Kashmir and
Pamirs region to the north of the Indian subcontinent is the point of confluence of these mountains which encircle the
Tibetan Plateau.
