The '''Himalayas''' (the '''Himalayan Range''') are a [[mountain range]] in [[Asia]], separating [[India]] and [[Pakistan]] on the south and southwest from the vast [[Tibet]]an plateau (occupied by [[China]]) on the north. [[Nepal]] and [[Bhutan]] are sovereign nations in the southern foothills. The Himalayas connect with the [[Hindu Kush]] mountain range in [[Afghanistan]]. The word Himalaya is of [[Sanskrit]] origin and means ''abode of snow''.
