Active Adventures in Himalayas
Stretched across India’s north are the mighty ‘Himalayas’ which translates to ‘abode of the snow.’ The range rises dramatically from the low valley floor up towards nine of the ten highest peaks on Earth. The significance of these mountains are apparent if one takes into consideration the region’s religious and historical aspects. The shrines and monasteries here have attracted Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims for centuries while the mountain passes were part of ancient trade routes.
