The Himalayas are of utmost importance because:
i) It is the origin of many rivers that serve as a great source of water in the Indian subcontinent.
ii) They prevent dry winds south, which keeps South Asia much warmer than corresponding temperate regions in the other continents. It also forms a barrier for the monsoon winds of the Indian Ocean from crossing over to Northern countries and causes heavy rainfall in Northern India.
iii) It is home to many medicinal sources and plants from the forests have been used to treat health problems ranging from a simple cough to snake bite.
