The Himalayas are a vast mountain range in South Asia, stretching across five countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China, and Pakistan. This majestic range is home to the world’s highest peaks, including Mount Everest, which stands at 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level, making it the tallest mountain on Earth. The formation of the Himalayas began around 50 million years ago due to the collision of the Indian subcontinent with the Eurasian plate, a process that continues today, causing the mountains to slowly rise.
