Answer:

The world's highest mountain range, the Himalayas, spans five countries including India. Not surprisingly, it's the most well known of the major mountain ranges in India. The Himalayas are where three religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam—meet. The range features prominently in Hindu mythology, and attracts holy sages and Tibetan monks alike. The Himalayas also influence the climate in India by preventing cold winds from blowing south. However, there are a number of other major mountain ranges that play an important role in India's environment and culture too.

Answer :

India is a large country which also has many mountain ranges. Himalays are one of them. Nanda Devi, Kamet etc

Here is more information-

Himalayan Range is the result of the motion of Tectonic Plates. The Himalayas is the third-largest snow and ice reserve in the world after Antarctica and the Arctic. There are about 15000 glaciers located in Himalayan Range. Himalaya is the source of the Ganga-Brahmaputra river system.

The west end is in Pakistan. They run through Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradeshstates in India, Nepal, and Bhutan. The east end is in the south of Tibet. They are divided into 3 parts Himadri, Himachal and Shiwaliks.

The 15 highest mountains in the world are in the Himalayas. The main ones are Mount Everest, K2, Annapurna, and Nanga Parbat. Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth, at 8,849 meters. Of the fifteen highest mountain peaks in the World, nine are in the Nepali Himalayas.

The word "Himalaya" means House of Snow in Sanskrit, an old Indian language. The Himalayas are so high that they kept the Indian and Chinese people separate from each other most of the time. India is a peninsula that is cut off from the rest of Asia by the mountains. It is often called the Indian subcontinent because it is larger and more isolated than other peninsulas.

North of the Himalayas is the Tibetan Plateau. It is called “the roof of the world”. However, the Tibetan Plateau is very dry because the plateau and the mountains act as a gigantic rain shadow. The rain falls instead on the south side of the mountains. This has greatly influenced the climate of the Indian subcontinent. Not only does it block the extremely cold winter winds blowing from Central Asia from entering Subcontinent, it also forces the Bay of Bengal Monsoon branch to shed its moisture along NE and Northern Indian States, Bhutan, Nepal and Bangladesh.
