-- In the North: Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan.
-- In the South: the Palk Strait and the Gulf of Mannar.
-- In the West: Pakistan and the Arabian Sea.

It is more than 2,400 kilometres long and between 160 and 320 kilometres wide. Some of its peaks are the highest in the world (the Everest, the K2,etc.).
The Himalayas give birth to many rivers. The most important are the Indus, the Ganges, the Yamuna and the Brahmaputra.
From March to May, India is at its warmest. There are almost no rains and temperatures are above 40°C inland.
After the monsoon (from October to November), some tropical hurricanes can take place and wreak havoc.
