Himalayas in Malayalam
These options give poetic epithets rather than the name of the range itself. ഗിരിരാജന് (giriraajan) means king among mountains and is applied to the Himalayas in verse. നഗപതി (nagapathi) works the same way, as lord of mountains.
Most common translation
King among mountains, the Himalayas, Maha Meru, mount Govardhana.

All Malayalam words for “himalayas”
- ഗിരിരാജന് (giriraajan) — King among mountains, the Himalayas, Maha Meru, mount Govardhana.
- നഗപതി (nagapathi) — King of mountains, Himalayas.
Both options are titles of honour for a great mountain, not the proper name Himalayas, and either can be used of other famous peaks.
