The nearest section of the Himalayas to Kathmandu is approximately 70 kilometers (about 43 miles) away. This distance can vary slightly depending on the specific location in the Himalayas you are referring to. The closest major peaks, such as those in the Langtang region, are accessible from Kathmandu within a few hours of travel.

Classically speaking Himalaya is correct. In Sanskrit, him = snow; alaya = abode/house. It is already a plural and identifies the whole of the Himalayan range from west to east. But recent usage and Americanization has made Himalayas more popular. Guess writers and editors just presumed that because other mountain ranges were known as Alps, Andes, Atlas, Pamirs, Pyrenees, etc., they just starting adding the 's' to Himalaya because they thought that was the correct plural form. Dictionaries also started spelling it with an s. For instance if you type Himalaya in MS Word, it says "wrong spelling, add an s." So although Himalaya is correct it is now widely used as Himalayas. So both are correct, I guess.
The s orbital is the orbital nearest to the nucleus in an atom.
