The Himalaya stretch across five nations — Pakistan, India, China, Bhutan and Nepal. It is the source of two of the world’s major river systems — the Indus Basin and the Ganga-Brahmaputra Basin. An estimated 750 million people live in the watershed area of the Himalayan rivers, which also includes Bangladesh.

The Himalayan (pronounced as Himaalayas and not with a short “a” as is commonly mispronounced)range runs for about 2400 km, from Nanga Parbat in the west to Namche Barwa in the east. The width varies between 250-300 km. The Himalayan range comprises three parallel ranges, arranged by elevation and geological age.
