Located in the heart of South Asia, distinctly dividing the Indian Sub-Continent from Central Asia this highest mountain range in the world extends for about 1550 miles from west to east, and stretches across 612,021 square kilometres covering several states of India and also includes the Himalayan Kingdoms of Nepal and Bhutan. The northern boundary of this amazing mountain range is the Tibetan Plateau, also known as the Roof of the World, and the lower extensions of the range branch off to form the eastern and western frontiers. From west to east it is divided into three sections: the Western, Central and Eastern Himalayas.
The Eastern sector is by far the most popular area due to its location as well as the rich biodiversity. Located between Central Nepal and Myanmar, which makes the eastern boundary, it also covers southeast Tibet, Bhutan, North Bengal, Sikkim and North-East part of India. This sector has been declared by Conservation International as a biodiversity hotspot.
The beauty of the Eastern Himalaya is mainly because of the complex’s geological and geographical history, which is also why it is such a famous exploration by armatures as well as experts.
For most of the visitors exploring the beauty and the luring mystery of the Eastern Himalaya the easiest access is provided through Bhutan and Sikkim. Expeditions of adventure, discovery, and simply being awed by the majestic and incredible beauty of the show covered slopes are part of this exploration. Trek at about 14,000 ft above sea level, and the untamed waters that flow down offers perfect settings for kayaking and rafting. Of course there is nothing better than conquering one of those peaks by oneself in a mountaineering expedition to experience the true beauty of the Eastern Himalaya Range.
