My experience on doing this work I am very glad to have this opportunity to make a presentation on the mountain ranges of our country which makes our country a country with Himalayas. I would like to thank my social studies teacher sajana maam for providing me this platform and encouraging me to explore the Himalayas. I hope you also have got some information about the natural heritages of my country Nepal. Thank you so much.
