The one reason why India is the way it is. The world's highest mountain range keeps the cold Arctic winds out and the monsoon winds in. Their snow-capped peaks and glaciers provide water to billions of people in the Indian subcontinent. They are home to some of the world's rarest flora and fauna. Oh, and the Yeti also lives here. As does Lord Shiva, he of the matted locks and the blue throat, who dances the dance of death and can destroy universes when he opens his third eye. Not surprisingly, hundreds of thousands of Hindu, Buddhist and Sikh pilgrims brave the mountains to visit holy sites. If you are averse to religion, there are tall peaks to climb, natural beauty to soak in and slopes to ski.
