The great Himalayas are often described as the 'rooftop of the world' and today the mountain ranges lies across 5 different countries, namely Nepal, India, Pakistan, China and Bhutan and some of the world's great rivers such as the Indus and Ganges get their origins from these mountains.
Some of the highest mountains in the world are located here including Mount Everest (Nepal) and the K2 (Pakistan), the highest and second highest mountains respectively.
They are known for unique snow capped mountain ranges and flora and fauna which are only found in these areas such as the beautiful snow leopard. Apart from that, mighty rivers, deep valleys and a multiple languages and cultures are based within the Himalayas. Due to tall mountains and general ruggedness of the area, people living in close proximity follow different cultures, speak different languages and have different belief systems. They are also popular as tourism spots, known for clear air and beautiful surroundings.

K2 (Pakistan) is not in the Himalayas. K2 is in Karakoram Range.
