The Himalayan region has been associated with countless myths and mystical creatures since ages. Hindus regard Himalayas as an abode of God Shiva and hence is regarded very sacred. Ancient Hindu scripture, Rig Veda, has referred to Himalaya as a deity. The mighty altitude of the Himalayas is a constant remembrance to the loftiness of the human soul, its vastness and a prototype for the universality of human consciousness.
