Peaks of the Himalayas

The Himalayas is the world's highest mountain range comprising all top ten of the world's highest peaks. In fact, the Himalayas includes 14 peaks more than 8,000 meters high and some 200 more than 6000 meters.

Contrary to popular belief, the Himalayas is a non-continuous range segmented at various places, forming several subranges. Other times, the Himalayas consists of a cluster of mountains on a separate latitude. As such, clustered mountains in the Himalayas are roughly grouped together by regions, sometimes called Himal.
