My favorite science experience was hiking into a remote area of the Nepalese Himalaya to look for flood deposits. Few outsiders had ever visited the area. The local people were fascinated by things I take for granted, such as being able to write rapidly by hand in a field notebook.
The Himalaya Mountain range has some of Earth’s highest peaks. The Himalaya Mountains are spread across five countries in Asia. The mountains lie between China to the north and India to the south.
