After searching through the social impacts of the Himalaya mountains, We discovered many things about Himalayan, not just the geographical location, but also on the people that live there. There are lots of people living on Himalaya and it has been an attraction site not long ago. They have their own culture and traditions too! We learnt many things about Himalayan and really has an urge to visit Himalaya mountain one day. Frankly speaking, We am not fascinated by Himalaya mountains before We did this project as We thought it just a mountain like any other, but after in depth research and reading, We find Himalaya is filled with amazing stuffs! We hope Himalayan don't change, but, it is quite unlikely. Tourism itself has change Himalayan drastically...

Andes Mountains to us was actually just a series of mountains. We do not know about anything else except how it is formed. After doing this project, we realise that there are also many stories behind it such as the conflict due to the glaciers. This tell us that behind a mountain there are many impacts/effects behind it. This tell us not to judge at something by only the external appearance. We are glad that we have embark on this journey as we learn interesting social impacts that the others might not even know. We hope to research on other geographical objects such as the San Andreas Fault.
