India (भारत, Bhārat) fills most of South Asia, covering about 1.27 million square miles (3.29 million km²). It stretches from the snowy Himalayas in the north through the wide plains of the Ganges, the Thar Desert in the west and the forested Western Ghats, down to tropical beaches and palm-lined backwaters in the south.

Its most famous natural landmark is the Himalayas, where Kangchenjunga, the third-highest mountain on Earth at about 28,169 feet (8,586 m), rises on the border with Nepal. In the east, the Sundarbans mangrove forest, shared with Bangladesh, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Bengal tiger is the national animal, and the peacock is the national bird.

India is home to around three-quarters of the world's wild tigers. The Gir Forest in Gujarat is the only place where wild Asiatic lions still live, and Kaziranga National Park in Assam shelters about two-thirds of all greater one-horned rhinos, along with wild elephants and swamp deer.

Did You Know? The village of Mawsynram in northeast India is often called the wettest place on Earth, soaked by more than 460 inches (11.7 m) of rain in an average year.
