Answer:
Himalaya acts as a climatic barrier
between two climatic regions such as India and central Asia.
The Himalaya traps the Monsoon winds from Arabian and bay of Bengal branches and force them to rise along its slope and shedding their moisture in the form of rain and snow within the Indian subcontinent.
It protects the country against the cold arctic winds blowing from Siberia through central Asia . This keeps the climate of northern India fairly warm throughout the year.
