The climate features an average yearly temperature around 55°F, with monthly averages ranging from 41°F to 65°F. The region showcases remarkable landscapes, with the towering peak of Kanchenjunga at 28,172 feet—the world's highest mountain—captivating attention. The Himalayan panorama, adorned with exquisite Rhododendron varieties, evokes awe. The evergreen foliage and enchanting blossoms of the Rhododendron genus have long captivated Europe's fascination. The book navigates through diverse species, their origins, and their importance within various geographical contexts.
