Himalayan Mountains

The Himalayan Mountains form the highest mountain range in the world, stretching across five countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China, and Pakistan. They were created by the collision of tectonic plates millions of years ago. This region includes Mount Everest, the tallest peak on Earth. The Himalayas play a crucial role in the climate of South Asia, influencing monsoon patterns and protecting the diverse ecosystems found within. They are also culturally significant, with many sacred sites and traditions linked to the mountains. The Himalayas attract numerous trekkers and climbers, making them a popular destination for adventure tourism.
