Set of 48 Picture Postcards released by North Karnataka Postal Region.

North Karnataka Postal Region, Dharwad has released a set of 48 picture postcards on the theme 'Birds of the Himalayas' to observe the International Biodiversity decade 2011-2020. Set of 48 picture postcards is priced at Rs. 150/-.

The Himalayas, is a mountain range which separates the Great Indian Plains from the Tibetan Plateau. This range is home to nine of the ten highest peaks on the Earth, including the highest, Mount Everest. The abrupt rise of the Himalayan Mountains from less than 500 meters to more than 8,000 meters in a few hundred kilometers has resulted in a huge diversity of flora and fauna. Nearly 1000 birds have been recorded in the Himalayas of which 15 species are fully endemic.

On the address side text 'IN' and 6 boxes has been provided which is probably for the use of Postcrossing (a postcard exchange project) members to mention the POSTCARD ID.
