The Sivalik Hills, also known as the Shivalik Hills and Churia Hills, are a mountain range of the outer Himalayas that stretches over about 2,400 km (1,500 mi) from the Indus River eastwards close to the Brahmaputra River, spanning the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent. It is 10–50 km (6.2–31.1 mi) wide with an average elevation of 1,500–2,000 m (4,900–6,600 ft). Between the Teesta and Raidāk Rivers in Assam is a gap of about 90 km (56 mi).[1] The literal translation of "Sivalik" is 'tresses of Shiva'.[2] Sivalik region is home to the Soanian archaeological culture.[3] The hills are well known for their Neogene and Pleistocene aged vertebrate fossils.[4]
