If this is the case, then why only Nepal related topics template is added? — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 06:37, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
There doesn't an exist another temp for Bhutan, etc. I'll create one. This Fire Burns Always 14:17, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arunachal Pradesh

Why does the Arunachal Pradesh template appear on the portal? It is just one of the many mountainous states -- Lost 10:50, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Its part of the Himalayan region - this portal discusses the nations of Nepal, Bhutan and the entire region. Rama's arrow - this Fire burns always 10:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
I meant if Arunachal is there, why not Himachal, Sikkim etc? -- Lost 11:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
PS - I am talking about the template that appears under Topics -- Lost 11:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Yes I know what you're talking about - there are no templates existent for HP and Sikkim, also Tibet, Uttaranchal, Kashmir and Bhutan. I've put in what exists for now. Rama's arrow - this Fire burns always 11:07, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Oh, I see. Thanks for letting me know. Will work on adding Himachal -- Lost 11:18, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
OK, {{Himachal Pradesh}} is ready and adding to main portal and yes, a direct copy of Arunachal template -- Lost 12:39, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Afghanistan?

Shouldn't Afghanistan be a part of this? -- Lost(talk) 16:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Well no - I don't think Afghanistan is really connected with the Himalayas except for a small strip of land on the Pak-Tajikistan border. Even Pakistan would be a doubtful connection if not for the Kashmir dispute and the Hindu Kush range. Rama's arrow 16:25, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes you are right. A bit of reading tells me that the mountain ranges surrounding Afghanistan are not Himalayas for the large part -- Lost(talk) 18:27, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
