Importance of Himalayas:

The Himalayas acts as a barrier protecting the great Plains of India from the cold winds of Central Asia during the severe winter season.

The Himalayas are the reason for summer rains and monsoon type of climate in the regions that are beyond the Western ghats of India.

Himalaya is responsible for the origin of perennial rivers which bring a lot of silt making the northern plains very fertile.
