Describe the scenic beauty of the Himalayas in your own words
Answers
Explanation:
The Himalayas have been one of the dominant features of India. They are the abode of snow. Consequently they have long been known as the Himavan, Himadri, Himachal or the Himalaya. They are the youngest and the highest folded mountains on earth, rising to over 8,000 metres from the sea level, which run in an east-west direction along the entire northern boundary of India for 2500 kms.
They are 240 to 500 kms. Broad (as in Kashmir) and cover about 500,000 sq. kms. Their areal stretch is between the Indus river and the Brahmaputra, encompassing parts of the Himachal Pradesh, the entire Jammu and Kashmir, the Dehradun district and Kumaon district of Uttarakhand, Nepal, Sikkim and Bhutan; the Darjeeling district of West Bengal; the states of Assam, Manipur, Tripura, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram.
