Answer: 8,848m or 29,029 feet

Explanation:

The Himalaya mountain range is the highest in the world as it consists of several high peaks including the highest mountain in the world, Everest. Passing through India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Bhutan and Nepal, these range covers a distance of 2,400 km.

As mentioned before, the highest point of the range is Mount Everest which is about 8,848m. The Himalayas are still growing because the same force that caused them to form ( collision between Indian and Eurasian Plates) is still in effect today.
