What is the name of the mountain range that extends across northern India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet?
The Himalayas
The Himalayas, which means "abode of the snow" in Sanskrit, are not only famous for their dizzying peaks but also for their remarkable biodiversity. The region is home to thousands of species of plants and animals, some found only here. Sagarmatha National Park in Nepal, where Everest is located, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. However, current environmental and climatic challenges threaten this unique ecosystem, highlighting the importance of conservation.
