Five Nations Surrounding the Himalayas

The Himalayan Arc

The range spans ~2,400 km, bordered by:

• China (Tibet Autonomous Region) — north
• India — south (Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Arunachal)
• Nepal — central south (8 of 14 8,000m peaks)
• Bhutan — east
• Pakistan — west (Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Kashmir)

Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Bangladesh lie near the western/eastern syntaxis but do not directly abut the main Himalayan crest.
