  The Northern Mountains and the Northern Plains of India Here we can find the information about the Northern Mountains and the Northern plains of India.   THE GREAT NORTHERN MOUNTAINS The Great Northern Mountains are stretched like a wall across the north of the Indian subcontinent. The Northern Mountains consist of the Trans-Himalayan Ranges and the Himalayan Ranges. (A range is a continuous line of mountains.)

Of the various Trans-Himalayan Ranges that radiate out of the Pamir Knot, the ones that lie in India are the Karakoram Range, the Ladakh Range and the Zaskar Range. The Karakoram is the northernmost mountain range of India. The highest peak of this range is Mt K2 or Godwin-Austin (8611m)

They were afraid of falling from its edges. So, they never travelled far. About 500 years ago, a Portuguese explorer man named Ferdinand Magellan went on a long voyage from Spain.

Have you ever seen a photograph of the Earth taken from space? The Earth is so big t

After a few days Daksha had organized a Yagna where all the G
