The mountain range that includes Mount Everest is the Himalayas. The Himalayas span five countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China, and Pakistan. This range is known for its stunning landscapes and towering peaks, with Everest being the highest point on Earth at 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet) above sea level. The Himalayas were formed by the tectonic collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate, making them relatively young geologically. They are not only a majestic wonder but also significant for climate patterns, biodiversity, and cultural practices in the surrounding regions.
