The Greater Himalayas are called Himadri because "Himadri" is derived from the Sanskrit words "Him," meaning ice or snow, and "Adri," meaning mountain or range. This name signifies that this northernmost and highest range of the Himalayas is covered with snow and ice throughout the year, reflecting its perennial snowbound condition. The Himadri or Greater Himalayas include the highest peaks on Earth, such as Mount Everest, and are known for their lofty heights and extensive glaciers.
