Himalaya is Sanskrit for "abode of snow".
Mountain system in Asia, comprising a series of parallel and converging ranges and forming the highest mountain region in the world.
More than 30 peaks of the Himalaya rise to heights of 7,620 m (25,000 ft) or more, and one of these, Mount Everest (8,850 m/29,035 ft), is the world's highest mountain.
The vast Himalayan complex extends in an arc of about 2,400 km (1,500 mi) from the River Indus in northern Pakistan eastwards to the Brahmaputra River, across Kashmir in northern India, part of southern Tibet, most of Nepal, the Indian state of Sikkim, and Bhutan; the system covers an area of about 594,400 sq km (229,500 sq mi).
The extreme climate and challenging landscape of the range have made it the goal of many mountaineers.
