The Himalayas are a range of mountains in southern Asia, generally between India and China. The mountains in the range include many of the highest in the world. The Himalaya â¦ s were pushed up by the collision between India and the Asian continental plate, and some are still slowly and steadily increasing in height.he Himalayas are still growing because the Indo-Australian plate is still colliding with the Eurasian plate (Convergent plate boundaries), which makes it grow higher. India is a sub-continent of Asia.
