High Asia, nicknamed the Roof of the World, refers to some of the highest regions of the world, centred around the Tibetan Plateau. Formed by the collision of India into Eurasia around 50 million years ago, the spectacular high-altitude region is home to the world's tallest peaks, including Mount Everest.
This article is on an extra-hierarchical region, describing a region that does not fit into the hierarchy Wikivoyage uses to organise most articles. These "extraregion" articles usually provide only basic information and links to articles in the hierarchy. This article can be expanded if the information is specific to the page; otherwise new text should generally go in the appropriate region or city article.
