About the Himalayas

The word "Himalaya" is from Sanskrit: "him" meaning snow, and "alaya" meaning home. Three of the world's major rivers (Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra) arise in the Himalayas. Several places in the Himalayas are of religious significance in Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism. There were over 6,000 monasteries in Tibet, including the residence of the Dalai Lama. Bhutan, Sikkim and Ladakh are also dotted with numerous monasteries. The Himalayan people’s diversity shows in their architecture, clothing, languages, beliefs, and rituals. The Himalayan people wear handwoven textiles displaying unique colors and patterns.
