The Himalayas (or Greater Himal) is the name given to a huge range of mountains that stretch for over 2000 kilometres - about the distance from New York to Miama.
All the highest mountains in the world are in the Himalayas but the highest of all is Mount Everest which is 8844 metres (29017 feet) high according to the most recent and accurate survey so far.

The reason their are growing in height is because of plate tectonics. The two continental plates are rubbing against each other. The Indian Plate has nowhere to go so it goes up and will continue to go up.
