Nepal is known as the land of the Himalayas. There are the loftiest mountains in the world. The Himalayas extend all over Nothern Nepal and occupy nearly forty percent of the total land of our country. They consist of several parallel ranges, one higher then the other. The higher Himalayas are perpetually covered with snow, that's why they are called the Himalayas in sanskrit. Himalayas means the abode of snow. The higher Himalayas contain most of the highest peaks in the world. Some of the highest peaks are Mt.Everest Kanchenjunga, Lhotse and cho oyu. These peaks attract climbers every year. The high Himalayas contain several big glaciers and lakes. They are devoid of vegetation and human settlement.
The lower Himalayas are forested. The forests contain pine trees and rhododendrons.the rhoddendron is the national flower of our country. On the lower parts of these mountains we find valleys and lakes. The lower Himalayas are inhabited but the density of population is low. Life is difficult on the mountains. People rear goats and sheep. Some cultivation is done on the hill-slopes and in the valleys.
The Himalayas are a great hindrance to the development of our country. They cover a large part of our country. As they are unfit for cultivation, a big area of our country is a huge waste. Transport is difficult across the mountains and people cannot easily travel from one part of our country to another . Some parts of the Himalayas are inaccessible and inhospitable.
