Context of Pegunungan Himalaya

Himalaya adalah sebuah barisan pegunungan di Asia, yang memisahkan anak Benua India dari Dataran tinggi Tibet.

Himalaya merupakan tempat gunung-gunung tertinggi di dunia, misalnya Gunung Everest dan Kangchenjunga berada. Secara etimologi, Himalaya berarti " tempat kediaman salju " dalam bahasa Sanskerta (dari hima "salju", dan aalaya "tempat kediaman").

Himalaya memanjang sepanjang lima negara — Afganistan, Pakistan, India, Tiongkok, Bhutan, Nepal dan Myanmar. Ia adalah sumber dua sistem sungai besar dunia — Sungai Indus dan Sungai Ganga-Brahmaputra. Sekitar 1,5 miliar orang tinggal di daerah sekitar aliran air dari Himalaya, termasuk Bangladesh.
