Nanda Devi peak forms a part of

Nanda Devi is located in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand and is explicitly described as part of the Kumaon Himalayas, being the second highest mountain in India and the highest entirely within the country. The regional longitudinal divisions of the Himalaya place the Kumaon Himalayas between the Satluj and Kali rivers; by contrast, the Punjab Himalayas lie between the Indus and Satluj, the Nepal Himalayas between the Kali and Teesta, and the Assam Himalayas between the Teesta and Dihang. These river-based boundaries confirm that Nanda Devi falls in the Kumaon Himalayan segment, making option (2) the correct choice [1].
