The Himalayas are constantly being formed and changed through tectonic plates shifting under the Earth's surface. It is an extremely slow process which occurs over millions of years.
The Himalayas are a mountain range in Asia. They are being formed by the Indian subcontinent submerging under the Asian continent.

when was the Himalayas formed?
It depends where, geographically, which highlands you are referring to. The Himalayas, the highest landforms, are still being formed.
India is crashing into Asia. The Himalayas are being pushed up by the force of the collision.
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.

The most notable are the Himalayas, formed when India (on the Indo-Australian plate) drove north into Asia.
The Himalayas formed :]
The Andes were formed when one tectonic plate was driven below another, elevating part of the South American plate. The Himalayas were formed (and are still being formed) by crushing and folding of one tectonic plate as another is driving into it. The Japanese island chains were formed (and are still being formed) by two tectonic plates pulling slightly apart from each other. Magma boils upward, forming new land.
Mount Everest, which is found in the Himalayas mountain range
The Himalayas were formed at a convergent plate margin where the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate. This collision resulted in the uplift of the Himalayan mountain range.
