CHAPTER PHYSICAL FEATURES OF INDIA
In these hills Natures hospitality eclipses all men can ever do The enchanting beauties of the himalayas their bracing climate and the soothing
green that envelope you leaves nothing more to be desired I wonder whether the scenery of these hills and the climate are to be surpassed if
qualified by any of the beauty spots of the world -- Mahatma Gandhi
INTRODUCTION
MOUNTAINS OF THE NORTH
Tibet is surrounded on three sides by vast mountain systems
the Kunlun mountains of Central Asia in the north the Karakoram range in the west and the Himalayas in the south
Trans HimalayasTibet lies in a region known as Trans Himalayas As the term suggests Tibet lies beyond the main Himalayan range Unlike the main Himalayas the Trans Himalayan mountains are not divided by deep river gorges
They cover an area of about 1000 km (600 miles) and having a width ranging from 225 km (140 miles) to about 32 km (20 miles)
The southern part of Tibet falls within the Himalayan region Some of the worlds highest mountains define the southern border of Tibet

CHAPTER PHYSICAL FEATURES OF INDIA
THE HIMALAYAS
The great mountain system of Asia(YOUNG FOLD MOUNTAINS) forming a barrier between the Plateau of Tibet to the north and the alluvial plains of the Indian subcontinent to the south
The Himalayas include the highest mountains in the world with more than 110 peaks rising to elevations of 24000 feet (7300 metres) or more above sea level
One of these peaks is Mount Everest the worldrsquos highest with an elevation of 29035 feet (8850 metres
The mountainsrsquo high peaks rise into the zone of perpetual snow
They act as a climatic barrier to INDIA

CHAPTER PHYSICAL FEATURES OF INDIA
The westernmost section of the Himalayas lying in the Kashmir region of northern India and Pakistan and extending east-southeast for 350 miles (560 km) from the bend of the Indus River to the Sutlej River
The upper Indus separates them from the Karakoram Range to the north Included within the Punjab Himalayas are the Zaskar Range the Pir Panjal Range and part of the Siwalik Range The Jhelum River rises in these mountains before flowing westward through the Vale of Kashmir
The highest point is Nanga Parbat (26660 feet [8126 metres]) at the northwest end of the range
Dalhousie in the foothills of the range is a noted mountain resort
