HIMALAYA

Himalaya, also known as Himal in short, literally means the abode of snow. The majestic snow-capped peaks of northern Nepal are seen as ranges of white mountains. The towering cliffs, enormous glaciers, deep gorges and innumerable spurs are all parts and parcels of the Himalayas. The 500 mile-long map of Nepal is virtually walled on the northern borders by the mighty Himalayan ranges or the Hiamlayas.
