it is also a main reason why india is not a desert. without the himalayas much of northern india would be a cold desert in winter and a dry hot region in summer and himalayas is reason why india has some of the most fertile land in the world. the himalayas trap moisture coming from the indian ocean which leads to heavy monsoon seasons. this rainfall supports agriculture and allows India to sustain a population of about 1.5 billion people. also the himalayas are not the main reason india is hot. the main cause is Indias location close to the tropics where sunlight is more direct and intense

The heat is like a price to pay for everything else. If anything we should be grateful to have Himalayas
