The Himalayan Alpine climate is a harsh environment and very few animals and plants can live there. The few plants that do inhabit have to adapt to the freezing temperatures, high winds and to a short growing season. That is why most of the plants grow low to the ground. High altitude Himalayas are arid desert with a panorama of high snow-capped peaks and bare multi-hued hills sculpted by the forces of nature. The climate is extreme with long snow bound winters and a brief three months’ summer. Rainfall is as low as two inches per year and it is the melting snow flowing swiftly down the rocky streams and rivers that sustain habitation and meager crops.
