Middle Earth: In India
Where is middle earth exactly?
What about India?
India is a place which contains the Himalayas. It is very mountainous in the North and the people living there speak Hindi. Most Indians are Hindus. Also, Mount Everest is in the Himalayas.
Why India?
Why would India be a good Middle Earth? First of all, India has TONS of mountains in the North. There aren't any people living in the mountains if not then small settlements which makes it look even more like middle earth containing small houses. Also, just because there is mountains doesn't mean that it will look like middle earth... You need a landscape that looks like Middle Earth too. India has both the mountains and the landscape.
