the Himalayas
Nepal's towering backbone
The Himalayas are the mountain range in South Asia separating the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau, containing the world's highest peaks including Mount Everest.
The range stretches across five countries—India, Nepal, Bhutan, China, and Pakistan.
We trekked through the Himalayas for three weeks.
Figuratively, Himalayan describes anything of extreme scale: a Himalayan task, Himalayan debts.
