The Himalayas save our country from the cold and dry winds of Central Asia. They also prevent the monsoon winds of the Indian Ocean from crossing over to Northern countries and cause heavy rainfall in Northern India. Many rivers have their sources in the Himalayan ranges. The Himalayan slopes have dense forests. Due to Himalayas entire India is brought under the sway of moist laden winds for a few months. The Himalayas block the monsoon winds and confine them to the Indian subcontinent. Without monsoons, India would have been a desert. In India monsoon usually lasts from July to September.

The Himalayan slopes have dense forests. In India monsoon usually lasts from July to September. The Himalayas prevent the cold winds from Central Asia from entering the subcontinent. It is because of these mountains that this subcontinent experiences comparatively milder winters as compared to Central Asia. The Himalayas are the arrangement of the silt stored in the Tethys Ocean. This silt is conveyed by the Himalayan streams and kept in the northern plain in the form of fruitful soil, making the plain one the richest place where there is the world. The northern part of the Indian Peninsula subsided due to the upliftment of the Himalayas in the Tethys Sea and resulted in a large basin. This basin accumulated sediments from the rivers which came from the mountains in the north and from the peninsula in the south. The Himalayas have a significant impact on India's climate. Only the presence of the Himalayas makes India a monsoon land. It traps the monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, forcing them to shed their moisture content within the Indian subcontinent in the form of snow and rain. The water from these rivers irrigates the agricultural lands and rains the Himalayas block the rain-bearing monsoon winds from reaching Asia, causing them to fall in India. In India, monsoons are the primary source of water for irrigation. In many parts of India, its failure results in drought and starvation. The Himalayas and the Indian Ocean has a great influence on the climate of India. The Himalayan ranges act as a barrier and obstructs the very cold Wind blowing from the North. Again orographic type of rainfall occurs because of the natural obstruction of the Himalayas. The Himalayas are of utmost importance because: i) It is the origin of many rivers that serve as a great source of water in the Indian subcontinent. They prevent dry winds south, which keep South Asia much warmer than corresponding temperate regions in the other continents.
