Explanation:
The Himalayas lie in the Northern Hemisphere. and the mountains of Tibet lies toward the northern face of Himalayas. During winters, the sun is always towards the South and the northern facing parts of any mountains are in shadow. Since the southern slope of the Himalayas faces sun most of the time, its snow melts more quickly than the north facing slopes.
