Corrected entry: The Ark where the main characters are aboard is going to hit the face of Mount Everest. The wave that puts them there is 1500 meters high as it is traversing across India, but the base of Mt. Everest (according to Wikipedia) ranges from 4,200 m (13,800 ft) on the south side to 5,200 m (17,100 ft) on the Tibetan Plateau. Therefore the water could not have reached this height of land.

Correction: A wave's reach onto land is determined by the amount of water following it and pushing it onwards, not by the height of the wave. In this case, a lot of water is obviously pushing the front of the wave high up into the mountains.
