Answer:
The growth of vegetation depends upon the amount sunlight and rainfall received.
The southern slopes of the Himalayas receive more rain due to the south west monsoon winds which travel west along the southern slopes.
So the southern slopes are covered with thick vegetation as compared to the northern slopes.
The northern slopes of the hills in Himalayan region are at high altitude and have low temperature or are snow covered.
This does not allow much vegetation.
In the southern part of the hills there are plains and valleys watered by rivers and with fertile soil and pleasant temperature levels all required for dense growth of vegetation.
