Abor tribe - Aboruzoku

…A large mountain range that borders the Tibetan Plateau and defines the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. The region that stretches from east to west along the main ridge is also called the Himalayas. The area has varying elevations, from the foothills at 200m above sea level to Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world at 8,848m. The foothills are subtropical, but the lower mountains, basins, and valleys are temperate and then alpine (cold) zones, leading to snowy regions. Furthermore, the Himalayas are located on the border between the Indian subcontinent and central Eurasia, and act as a barrier to the monsoon, promoting the formation of air masses that affect the climate of East Asia.

*Some of the terminology that refers to the "Abor tribe" is listed below.
