Himalayas, Sanskrit for ‘ABODE OF SNOW’
The Great Himalayas have always had a touch mystique to them. Standing tall and majestic, with snow capped mountain peaks, valleys, glaciers, rivers, and varied and rich vegetation, this mountain range is a symbol of beauty. It is this mystic beauty of the Himalayas that has attracted people from across the globe(including some of the world’s greatest mountain climbers) to experience and explore this natural masterpiece. The Himalayan mountain system is believed to be one of the youngest mountain systems stretching across six different countries namely Bhutan, Tibet, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Afghanistan. While intimidating mountains like Everest and 2K tend to dominate our perceptions of the region, the Himalayas are rich in biodiversity and are home to a diverse number of people, languages, and religions.
