Himalaya


History of Himalayas
The Himalayas are not merely a geographical feature, a range of mountains; they epitomize a people’s civilizational identity that goes back to the dawn of history. If these majestic mountains were not there, the rain clouds sweeping up from the Indian Ocean would have passed over the Indian subcontinent into central Asia leaving it a burning desert.
Archaeological evidence reveals that urban civilization first emerged in the valleys of the rivers coursing down from the Himalayan mountains. When man elsewhere was cautiously emerging from his cave shelters, spectacular cities flourished at Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa in the Indus Valley.
