The Himalayas do have a densely dissected ridge and valley topography. The region is characterized by numerous mountain ranges, each with deep valleys and high ridges.

The ranges of the Himalayas indeed have a steep gradient towards the south, leading to the northern plains of India. On the northern side, they present a much gentler slope, often referred to as the Tibetan Plateau or the Tibetan Plateau region.
