The Himalayas are probably the most magical place on Earth.

“Beautiful illustrations enhance short paragraphs defining the culture, animals, geography, and life in the Himalayas....This region of the world is often overlooked and there are presently very few nonfiction titles that provide such a collection of diverse, accessible information. Recommended.”—School Library Connection

About 50 million years ago, a colossal class between Indian and Asia resulted in the tallest landform on earth, with 14 peaks reaching over 8,000 meters above sea levels as it journeys through Nepal, India and Tibet.

This book helps you discover the towns that inhabit its rugged lands, talks about its legends and colors in an extraordinary way and features information on the culture and spirituality that lies in this beautiful part of the world.
