Country in the Himalayas (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

malaya

'country' is the definition.
(Malaya is an example)

'in the himalayas' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'MALAYA' is hidden within 'himalayas'.

(Other definitions for malaya that I've seen before include "Former country of southeast Asia, now part of another" , "Old colony" , "peninsular group of states" .)
