The attack took place in Pahalgam, a picturesque town in the Himalayas often described as the "Switzerland of India".

Originally from the Himalayas, the Indian sub-continent, and parts of Africa, ring-necked parakeets are regularly spotted across the UK, with large populations in London and the south-east of England.

The Himalayas were formed by the Indian plate colliding with the Eurasian plate, and the 2004 Tsunami as a result of the Indian plate moving beneath the Burma microplate.

Avalanches and landslides are common in the higher regions of the Himalayas, especially during winter.
