Churiya Hills

The Churiya Hills, also known as the Churia Range or Shivalik Hills, are a mountain range located at the southern edge of the Himalayas in Nepal, India, and Bhutan. They consist of young, folded mountains formed from sediments of ancient rivers, making the terrain relatively soft and prone to landslides. The hills are rich in forests and serve as an important ecological zone. They also act as a natural barrier, influencing climate and agriculture in the region. Their formation and location are vital for understanding the geological and environmental dynamics of the Himalayan foothills.
