The Indian Ocean and the Himalayas play a major role in affecting the monsoon and climate of India. The Himalayas protect India from bitterly cold winds that blow from the north. Thus, India does not experience severe cold during winter. It acts as a strong defense barrier. 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 Himalayas exert a great influence on the mechanism of monsoon and overall climate of India. - South- West Monsoons reverse from the Shivaliks and Lesser Himalayan ranges. The Himalayas mainly stop the cold winds coming from the North Gobi desert.

The Indian climate is greatly influenced by the Indian Ocean and the Himalayan Mountain range. The Indian Ocean has a moderating effect on the climate by bringing moisture to the Indian subcontinent, which is crucial for agriculture and other economic activities. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises, creating low-pressure systems that draw in moisture from the surrounding areas. This results in the southwest monsoon, which brings heavy rainfall to India during the summer months. The Himalayan Mountain range also plays a critical role in shaping India's climate. The range acts as a barrier to the cold winds from the north, protecting the Indian subcontinent from the frigid air of the Tibetan Plateau. The mountains also influence the precipitation patterns, as the moist air from the Indian Ocean is forced to rise over the mountains, leading to high precipitation in the foothills and valleys on the windward side of the range. This has a significant impact on the availability of water resources, agriculture, and hydroelectric power generation in northern India. In addition to the climate, the Great Himalayan range is also important to India as a country due to its rich biodiversity and cultural heritage. The Himalayas are home to several important ecosystems, such as alpine meadows, temperate forests, and sub-tropical forests, which support a variety of flora and fauna, including many endangered species. The Himalayas are also considered sacred by many religions and are home to several pilgrimage sites that attract millions of visitors every year. The mountains are a crucial source of water, as several major rivers such as the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Indus originate in the Himalayas, providing water for irrigation, drinking, and other uses for millions of people in India and neighboring countries. Finally, the Himalayas are also a vital source of minerals, including precious metals such as gold, silver, and copper, as well as non-metallic minerals such as limestone, gypsum, and mica.

India receives 80 per cent of its annual rainfall during the southwest monsoon, aka summer monsoon, between the months of June and September, though the intensity varies from year to year. 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.The Indian Ocean and the Himalayas play a major role in affecting the monsoon and climate of India. The Himalayas protect India from bitterly cold winds that blow from the north. Thus, India does not experience severe cold during winter. At the beginning of summer, the temperature on the main land increases. 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. 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 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 Great Himalayas contain many of the world's tallest peaks, including Nanga Parbat, Annapurna, Mount Everest, and Kanchenjunga. The highest peaks of the Greater Himalayas in the ascending order are, Namcha Barwa with an altitude of 7,756 metres, Nanga Parbat with an altitude of 8,126 metres, Dhaulagiri with an altitude of 8,172 metres, Kanchenjunga with an altitude of 8,598 metres and the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest. The Himalayan Mountain ranges are considered as the abode of the mountains, and the youngest and highest mountain range in the world. The Himalayan Mountains extend up to 2,500 km in length. It stretches from Jammu and Kashmir in the north to Arunachal Pradesh in the east. The Himalayas save our country from the cold and dry winds of Central Asia.
