The 3 features of the Himalayan mountains are : -

1) Soaring heights of the Himalaya's : It includes 50 mountain ranges exceeding 7200 m in height . The world's highest peak Mount Everest lies at  8848 m  above sea level.

2) Alpine glaciers : The glaciers of river Ganga have been a distinct feature of the Himlayas for ages. Due to global warming in the recent years the glaciers have started depleting resulting in less accumulation of glaciers. Scientists believe over a course oftime these glaciers wil melt flooding some of the populated regions near them.

3) Vast bio-diversity : The Himalayan ranges are blessed with a variety of wild animals. Bear's are a common site to hikers. Snow leopards are a sight to behold in these exquisite ranges. A stretch of tall Coniferous trees and green grass make these ranges nothing less than a place of serenity.
