Product Description
The Himalaya mountain range, located along the border of China and India, is truly 'the roof of the world'. It includes 10 of the world's 14 highest peaks, all of which rise more than 8,000 metres above sea level. It is about 2,400 kilometres long and extends into the countries of Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan. Formed about 60 million years ago, the Himalayas are the youngest mountain range on the Earth, which is why they are also the highest.
