The subcontinent that is south of the Himalaya is the Indian subcontinent. It broke off from Africa around 100 million years ago, and then drifted into Asia. Its collision with Asia is what caused the formation of the Himalaya.

What are the Himalayas north of?

Geographically: Indian subcontinent, some areas of the eastern Asian continent. Politically: India, Pakistan, and Myanmar (also known as Burma.) The Himalayas are a mountain range that lie above the Indian subcontinent. Major countries south of the Himalayas are India and Pakistan (And Sri Lanka, but this is an island nation, so they aren't affected geographically.) Countries which are within the Himalayas, or which contain the Himalayas as a major part of their geography, include Bhutan and Nepal. The Himalayas also stretch eastward above Asian countries, namely Myanmar (Burma). Besides India and Myanmar, no Asian countries outside the Indian subcontinent are south of it and directly border it, although other nations such as Laos, Thailand and China are technically south (east) of the Himalayas (in China's case, only in a very small part of the countries), they are mostly NOT directly south of it and/or do not include the Himalayas as part of their geography. (China does, but only northward; their southern areas do not contain any portion of them.)
