“…Meanwhile, orogen‐parallel stretching lineation has been observed in a few areas in the upper part of the GHC, including the Nyalam area in southern Tibet [ Brun et a l., ], central Nepal [ Pêcher , ; Pêcher et al ., ; Coleman , ], and Garhwal [ Pêcher and Scaillet , ] and Ladakh areas in the western Himalaya [ Epard and Steck , ]. Orogen‐parallel ductile detachments were also recognized at the roofs of transverse domes deforming or cutting across the STD, e.g., in the Gurla Mandhata area in SW Tibet [ Murphy et al ., ], the Leo Pargil dome in NW India [ Thiede et al ., ; Langille et al ., ], and the Ama Drime massif in Tibet‐Nepal [ Jessup et al ., ; Langille et al ., ]. The timing, mechanisms, and regional significance of the orogen‐parallel ductile deformation for exhumation of the GHC are still under debate.…”
