Himalayas

The Himalayas are the world's highest mountain range, stretching across five countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China, and Pakistan. Formed millions of years ago by the collision of tectonic plates, they include iconic peaks like Mount Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth. The range is crucial for Earth's climate, influencing weather patterns and providing water sources through glaciers and rivers. The Himalayas are also rich in biodiversity and home to unique wildlife, as well as diverse cultures and traditions among the people living in the region. They hold significant spiritual importance in various religions, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism.
