This section spans 180 km from the headwaters of the Siyom River on the international border NE into Tibet to the canyon of the Yarlung Tsangpo (the Brahmaputra in India), where the Himalayas are said to end, although high ranges (Hengduan Mountains on China\u2013Myanmar border) actually continue another 300 km east. Namcha Barwa is considered as the Eastern point of the Himalayas. It is located on the extreme east of the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. The height of Namcha Barwa is around 7782 m. Brahmaputra River takes a U-turn on reaching Namcha Barwa.<\/li><li><strong>Pair 2 correctly matched<\/strong>&#8211; Nanda Devi is the second-highest mountain in India and the highest entirely within the country (Kangchenjunga being on the border of India and Nepal). It is part of the Kumaon Himalayas and is located in the state of Uttarakhand, between the Rishiganga valley on the west and the Goriganga valley on the east. The peak, whose name means \u201cBliss-Giving Goddess\u201d, is regarded as the patron goddess of the Garhwal and Kumaon Himalayas.<\/li><li><strong>Pair 3 incorrectly matched<\/strong>.
