Note: There have been some doubts mentioned if Churdhar Peak belongs to Outer Himalayas. The classification of peaks especially at peripheries can be debated but the Himachal government official sources mentions this peak in outer Himalayas. There is also a detailed research report by forest department of Himachal Government that also mentions this and it infact analyses the composition of Rocks around this peak indicating presence of certain fossils and sedimentary rocks consistent with Outer Himalayas classification.

Also I have missed adding Mandi district among highest rainfall districts in Himachal alongside Kangra and Chamba. It also falls on the windward side of the higher part of Dhauladhar mountains.
