The Shivalik range, also known as the Shivalik Hills, is a series of low hills located in northern India, extending into parts of Nepal and Bhutan. These hills are part of the larger Himalayan mountain system and are characterized by their lush forests, diverse wildlife, and rich biodiversity. The Shivalik range is known for its unique geological formations and is an important area for ecological studies. The Shivalik region is home to several national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, such as Rajaji National Park and Corbett National Park. These protected areas serve as habitats for various species, including the Indian elephant and the Bengal tiger. The Shivalik range also plays a crucial role in the cultural and spiritual life of the local communities, with many temples and pilgrimage sites scattered throughout the area.
