Himalaya Watch | Ep. 7 | The Kumaon Himalayas

Описание: Title: Himalaya Watch

Ep. 7:- The Kumaon Himalaya, lies on the main axis of the main Himalayan range. It rises to
25,646 feet (7,817 metres) at Nanda Devi, the range’s highest peak, and to 25,446 feet
(7,756 metres) at Kamet, near the Chinese border. Glaciers and snowmelt feed the headstreams
of the Ganges River in torrents that rush through gorges and steep-sided ravines.

At lower elevations, between 3,500 and 8,000 feet (1,100 and 2,400 metres), a temperate climate encourages year-round settlement; farmers raise livestock and cultivate terraced, irrigated slopes.

It is home to a famous Indian Army regiment, the Kumaon Regiment. Important towns of Kumaon
are Nainital, Almora, Pithoragarh, Champawat, Bageshwar, and Ranikhet. Nainital is the
administrative centre of Kumaon Division and this is where the Uttarakhand high court is
located.

If anybody wants to study Ant Architecture, this is the place to do it.
