The Himalayas

Nepal is known as the land of the Himalayas. The Himalayas extend all over Northern Nepal and occupy nearly 40 percent of the total area of our country. The higher Himalayas are perpetually covered with snow. The higher Himalayas contain most of the highest peaks in the world. Some of the highest peaks are Mt. Everest, Kanchanjungha etc. These peaks attract climbers every year.    
           The Himalayas are a great hindrance to the development of our country. They cover a large part of our country. Some parts of the Himalayas are inaccessible and inhospitable. Though the Himalayas are an obstacle to the development of our country, we derive many benefits from them. The Himalayas supply our rivers with water. all our big rivers originate from the Himalayas. The rivers are full of water all the year round. They are useful for irrigation and generating electricity. The Himalayas are full of fine scenery and attract a large number of tourists and climbers.
