Himalaya

The Himalayas (Himalaya) is the largest high mountain system in the world and lies between the Indian subcontinent in the south and the Tibetan highlands in the north. The mountain range extends over a length of around 3,000 kilometers from Pakistan to Burma (Myanmar) and reaches a maximum width of 350 kilometers.
Ten of the fourteen 8000-meter peaks are in the Himalayas, including Mount Everest, the highest mountain on Earth. Nanga Parbat is geographically part of the Himalayas and thus forms the westernmost spur of the mountain range, where the Karakorum borders the Himalayas.
