Glaciers

Huge masses of ice moving along mountain valleys are known as glaciers. There are several glaciers in Himalaya mountain of Nepal. Most of them occur in the eastern Himalaya. The biggest glacier of Nepal is the Khumbu Glacier of Mahalangoor Himalaya. On the other hand, the Langtang Glacier of Langtang Himalaya is the longest one. Other important glaciers of Nepal are the Kanchanjunga Glacier and so on. These glaciers are important, because these give rise to perennial rivers like the Koshi, Gandaki, and Karnali Rivers.
