Contexto de Himalaias

Os Himalaias são a mais alta cadeia montanhosa do mundo, localizada entre a planície indo-gangética, ao sul, e o planalto tibetano, ao norte. A cordilheira abrange cinco países (Paquistão, Índia, China (região do Tibete), Nepal e Butão) e nela se situa a montanha mais alta do planeta, o Monte Everest. O nome Himalaia vem do sânscrito e significa "morada da neve". Os Himalaias espalham-se, de oeste para leste, do vale do rio Indo ao vale do rio Bramaputra, formando um arco de cerca de 2 500 km de extensão e com uma largura variando de 400 km no oeste, na região da Caxemira-Tibete, a 150 km no leste, na região do Tibete-Arunachal Pradesh.
