The
highest mountain ranges in the world and geologically speaking, the youngest,
the Himalayas offer some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world. The
western and eastern sectors of these lofty mountains have distinct differences
in vegetation and wildlife.
Vegetation also varies with altitude and ranges from the tropical and sub tropical
forests of the foothills, the temperate forests and alpine meadows of the higher
reaches, to the high altitude deserts in Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh.
With diverse habitats, animal life is varied too.
