This paper discusses the tectonic divisions of the Himalayan collision belt and deals with the tectonic evolution of the collision belt in the context of crustal accretion in the front of the collision belt, deep diapirism and thermal–uplift extension and deep material flowing of the lithosphere — backflowing. Finally it proposes a model of the tectonic evolution progressive intracontinental deformation model — of the Himalayan belt.
