View The Himalayas in a larger map. Name: Himalayas, Sanskrit for âabode of snowâ. Geography: The Himalayas stretch across the northeastern portion of India. They cover approximately 1,500 mi (2,400 km) and pass through the nations of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Bhutan and Nepal. The Himalayas are the result of tectonic plate motions that collided India into Tibet. 2  Because of the great amount of tectonic motion still occurring at the site, the Himalayas have a proportionally high number of earthquakes and tremors.
