Himalayas, Nepal |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The Himalayas, which comprise the highest mountain system in the world, extend through most of Nepal and help shape its northern border. Eight of the ten highest mountains in the world, including Mount Everest (8,850 m/29,035 ft), are located either wholly or partially in the country. The resulting geographic isolation has hindered the development of Nepal’s natural resources. | ||||||
