WONDERFUL FACTS - Himalayas refer to a mountain range and not a single mountain. The Himalayan mountain range is the youngest on this planet.
The Himalayan range is made up of three parallel ranges often referred to as the Greater Himalayas, the Lesser Himalayas, and the Outer Himalayas. ... Climates range from tropical at the base of the mountains to perennial snow and ice at the highest elevations. (Feb 11, 2011) 🐾

Walking on for three days...still quite a long way to trek....I could see smiling faces of Trisuli and Hardeol peaks inviting me to come closer...
Taken on trek to Bagini Advance BC in Garhwal Himalayas, India
The ascent was steady through virgin highland having numerous wild plants and flowers.....they make the air intoxicating and pause for a longer time affects and generates drowsiness....so enjoy the beauty only with steady walk...

One source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains range is about 1,000 km (620 mi) in length. Its highest point is 7,090 m (23,260 ft) located 100 km (62 mi) to the northwest of Lhasa. The range is parallel to the Himalayas in the Transhimalayas, and north of the Brahmaputra River. [3] Another source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains extend 460 miles (740 km) from Nyêmo County in the west to Ranwu County (the southwestern part of Baxoi County) in the east.
Its highest peak is Mount Nyenchen Tanglha (Nyainqêntanglha Feng) at 7,162 metres (23,497 ft).[4]
The southern side of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains is precipitous, and falls by around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), while the northern side is fairly level and descends about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). Most of the mountains are below 6,500 metres (21,300 ft).[5] They contain 7080 glaciers covering an area of 10,700 square kilometres (4,100 sq mi).[4]
The Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains have an average latitude of 30°30'N and a longitude between 90°E and 97°E. Together with the Gangdise Shan located further west, it forms the Transhimalaya [a] which runs parallel to the Himalayas north of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The Drukla Chu river rises in the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, where it is called the Song Chu river, and joins the Gyamda Chu river. The combined rivers run about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast to the Yarlung Tsangpo river.
Nothing can compare with the grandeur of the Himalayas.
