The Himalayan region has a cold climate, the Indo Gangetic plain has a temperate climate and the Deccan plateau has a tropical climate. The hot desert of Rajasthan, coastlines, evergreen forests, heavy (Assam) and low (Rajastan) rainfall areas etc., have added to the variety of our flora and fauna.
