96  SUFFREC The Hindu Kush-Himalayan Mountains extend over 3500 km, cover 3.5 million km 2 and include parts of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, and Pakistan (Guija et al. 2003). The region is bounded by the highly fertile Gangetic plains to the south and the Tarim Basin in the north. To the east is a continental scarp that extends from the Khingan Range in northeastern China through the Taihang Mountains to the eastern edge of the Yunnan-Guinzhou Plateau separating the low-lying areas of China from the QuinghaiTibetan Plateau. Extremes in altitude, relief, climate, geology, and geomorphology provide an environment that supports a complex mosaic of landscapes (Trisal 2009). All the major rivers in the Hindu Kush–Himalayan (HKH) countries, including the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra, Yangtze, Mekong, Amu Darya, and Hilmand, originate in high-altitude lakes and wetlands (Guija 2005). A number of wetlands is known to occur in the Hindu-Kush Himalayan region in the form of lakes. In Nepal and Bhutan alone, there are 5000 high altitude lakes (Mool et al. 2001). However, most large lakes are found in the Tibetan plateau of China and northwestern part of the HKH region (Ranade 2008).
