Answer:

The Himalayas stretch across the northeastern portion of India. They cover approximately 1,500 mi (2,400 km) and pass through the nations of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Bhutan and Nepal.

he Himalayan range is the world's highest mountain range, with its tallest peak Mt. Everest (8,848 metres (29,029 ft)) on the Nepal–China border.

They form India's northeastern border, separating it from northeastern Asia.

The Himalayan range has the Earth's highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest.

The Himalayas include over a  hundred mountains exceeding 7,200 metres (23,600 ft) in elevation.

The Himalayan range is one of the youngest mountain ranges on the planet and consists mostly of uplifted sedimentary and metamorphic rock.

Within India the Himalayas are divided into three longitudinal belts, called the Outer, Lesser, and Great Himalayas. At each extremity there is a great bend in the system’s alignment, from which a number of lower mountain ranges and hills spread out. Those in the west lie wholly within Pakistan and Afghanistan, while those to the east straddle India’s border with Myanmar (Burma). North of the Himalayas are the Plateau of Tibet and various Trans-Himalayan ranges, only a small part of which, in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir state (in the Indian-administered portion of Kashmir), are within the territorial limits of India.
