There is a concept of Isostatsy which means for every part which is above earth is compensated by same or around equal mass below the earth's crust , so Himalayas are too high , so the foundation or depth below them too deep . And another reason is it's a continent to continent collision so naturally there was no oceanic floor subduction which helps in magma pouring out .
