The Himalayas abut or cross five nations: Bhutan, India, Nepal, China, and Pakistan. The sway of the extend within the Kashmir locale is debated among India, Pakistan, and China.[3] The Himalayan run is bordered on the northwest by the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges, on the north by the Tibetan Level, and on the south by the Indo-Gangetic Plain. A few of the world's major streams, the Indus, the Ganges, and the Tsangpo–Brahmaputra, rise within the region of the Himalayas, and their combined seepage bowl is domestic to a few 600 million individuals; 53 million individuals live within the Himalayas.[4] The Himalayas have significantly molded the societies of South Asia and Tibet; numerous Himalayan crests are sacrosanct in Hinduism and Buddhism.

Lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate beneath the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan mountain run runs west-northwest to east-southeast in an circular segment 2,400 km (1,500 mi) long.[5] Its western stay, Nanga Parbat, lies fair south of the northernmost twist of the Indus stream. Its eastern stay, Namcha Barwa, lies promptly west of the awesome twist of the Yarlung Tsangpo Waterway. The extend changes in width from 350 km (220 mi) within the west to 150 km (93 mi) within the east.[6]The Himalayas comprise of parallel mountain ranges: the Sivalik Slopes on the south; the Lower Himalayan Extend; the Incredible Himalayas, which is the most elevated and central extend; and the Tibetan Himalayas on the north.[11] The Karakoram are for the most part considered partitioned from the Himalayas.

Within the center of the extraordinary bend of the Himalayan mountains lie the 8,000 m (26,000 ft) crests of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna in Nepal, isolated by the Kali Gandaki Pig out. The glut splits the Himalayas into Western and Eastern segments both ecologically and orographically – the pass at the head of the Kali Gandaki the Kora La is the least point on the ridgeline between Everest and K2 (the most elevated crest of the Karakoram extend). To the east of Annapurna are the 8,000 m (5.0 mi) crests of Manaslu and over the border in Tibet, Shishapangma. To the south of these lies Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal and the biggest city within the Himalayas. East of the Kathmandu Valley lies the valley of the Bhote/Sun Kosi waterway which rises in Tibet and gives the most overland course between Nepal and China – the Araniko Thruway/China National Thruway 318. Assist east is the Mahalangur Himal with four of the world's six most noteworthy mountains, counting the most noteworthy: Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse and Makalu. The Khumbu locale, prevalent for trekking, is found here on the south-western approaches to Everest. The Arun stream channels the northern inclines of these mountains, some time recently turning south and streaming to the run to the east of Makalu.

Within the distant east of Nepal, the Himalayas rise to the Kangchenjunga massif on the border with India, the third most elevated mountain within the world, the foremost easterly 8,000 m (26,000 ft) summit and the most noteworthy point of India. The eastern side of Kangchenjunga is within the Indian state of Sikkim. Once in the past an free Kingdom, it lies on the most course from India to Lhasa, Tibet, which passes over the Nathu La pass into Tibet. East of Sikkim lies the antiquated Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan. The most elevated mountain in Bhutan is Gangkhar Puensum, which is additionally a solid candidate for the most elevated unclimbed mountain within the world. The Himalayas here are getting to be progressively tough with intensely forested soak valleys. The Himalayas continue, turning marginally northeast, through the Indian State of Arunachal Pradesh as well as Tibet, some time recently coming to their easterly conclusion within the crest of Namche Barwa, arranged in Tibet interior the extraordinary twist of the Yarlang Tsangpo waterway. On the other side of the Tsangpo, to the east, are the Kangri Garpo mountains. The tall mountains to the north of the Tsangpo counting Gyala Peri, be that as it may, are too some of the time included within the Himalayas.

Going west from Dhaulagiri, Western Nepal is to some degree inaccessible and needs major tall mountains, but is domestic to Rara Lake, the biggest lake in Nepal. The Karnali Stream rises in Tibet but cuts through the middle of the locale. Advance west, the border with India takes after the Sarda Waterway and gives a trade course into China, where on the Tibetan level lies the tall crest of Gurla Mandhata.

Within the recently made Indian state of Uttarkhand, the Himalayas rise once more as the Kumaon Himalayas[12] with the tall crests of Nanda Devi and Kamet. The state is additionally domestic to the critical journey destinations of Chaar Dhaam, with Gangotri, the source of the heavenly stream Ganges, Yamunotri, the source of the stream Yamuna, and the sanctuaries at Badrinath and Kedarnath.

Advance west, the Himalayas frame most of the southern parcel of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, which are debated between India and Pakistan but managed by India. The twin crests of Sister Kun are the as it were mountains over 7,000 m (4.3 mi) in this portion of the Himalayas. Past lies the famous Kashmir Valley and the town and lakes of Srinagar. At last, the Himalayas reach their western conclusion within the emotional 8000 m crest of Nanga Parbat, which rises over 8,000 m (26,000 ft) over the Indus valley and is the foremost westerly of the 8000 m summits.
