The Siachen Glacier is located in which mountain range ?
Karakoram Range
The Siachen Glacier lies in the eastern Karakoram Range in Ladakh, just north-east of point NJ9842 where the Line of Control ends; it is about 76 km long and is one of the longest non-polar glaciers.
Its meltwater feeds the Nubra river, a tributary of the Shyok, which joins the Indus; the glacier is often called the world's highest battlefield.
The Pir Panjal is a range of the Lesser Himalaya, the Zanskar Range lies south of the Indus in Ladakh, and the Shiwalik forms the outermost foothills of the Himalaya, so none of them contains Siachen.
Hence, Karakoram Range.
