The Himalayas are the world's highest mountain range above sea level with the two highest mountains in the world: Mount Everest and K2. Mount Everest is located at the boundary between Nepal and China (Tibet), and K2 is located at the boundary between Pakistan and China (Tibet), and all are technically part of the same mountain range. There are only 14 mountains in the world that are over 8,000 meters. All 20 of the highest summits are located in central and south Asia. At the eastern extremity of the Himalayas are the countries of Nepal and Bhutan. The Himalayan region is also home to hundreds of lakes.
