Yes, the Himalayas are located on a convergent boundary.

There are three types of convergent boundaries:
-Oceanic-Oceanic
-Oceanic-Continental
-Continental-Continental

Of the three types, the Himalayas are considered to be Continental-Continental. Meaning, it's a collision between two continental plates.
