 This mountain is the highest of the world – Himalayas. A vast mountain system in southern Asia, extending 2,400 km (1,500 miles) from Kashmir eastwards to Assam. The Himalayas consist of a series of parallel ranges rising up from the Ganges basin to the Tibetan plateau, at over 3,000 m above sea level. The backbone is the Great Himalayan Range, the highest mountain range in the world, with several peaks rising to over 7,700 m (25,000 ft), the highest being Qomolangma. The string of lofty Himalayan peaks blocks the moist air currents blowing up from the Indian Ocean, and the everlasting snows of the mighty Himalayas.
