The four mainland South Asian countries that have territory in the Himalayas are:
1. India: A significant portion of the northern part of India covers the Himalayan region, including well-known areas like Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh.
2. Nepal: Nepal is a landlocked country that is almost entirely situated in the Himalayas. Home to Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak, Nepal is synonymous with the Himalayan mountain range.
3. Bhutan: Bhutan, another landlocked country, is located in the eastern Himalayas. It is known for its monasteries, fortresses (or dzongs), and dramatic landscapes that range from subtropical plains to steep mountains and valleys.
4. China (Tibet Autonomous Region): The Tibet Autonomous Region of China is located on the Tibetan Plateau in the Himalayas. It includes some of the highest elevations in the world and is referred to as the "Roof of the World."
