The Himalayas are found at a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone where one plate slips under the other driving the land mass up.
A convergent, continent to continent plate boundary.
It is a collision type plate boundary. This is what causes the huge mountains in the area.
the Himalayas were formed by a collision plate boundary, meaning that the plates collided and formed the Himalayas. The Himalayas are also referred to as 'fold mountains' because of the way in which they are made.
Convergent Boundary.
Collision boundary. The Himalayas, is the result of the on going collision between India and Asia. source of this answer being a test i just took in my Earth Science class, that said i got this correct ;)

The Himalayas resulted from the collision of the Indian Plate into the European plate. The softer Indian Plate was forced underneath the harder European Plate, which caused the European Plate to rise up and form the Himalayas.
The major types of mountains are volcanic mountains, fold mountains, block mountains, and dome mountains. Volcanic mountains are formed from volcanic activity, while fold mountains are created by the folding of rock layers. Block mountains result from the uplifting or faulting of large blocks of the Earth's crust, and dome mountains are formed by the uplift of a circular-shaped area of rock.
Usually occurs at plate boundary collision areas.
