Question

why western himalaya has lower altitudes of snow line than eastern

Answer 1

It depends upon both altitude (height of the mountain) and latitude (where the mountain is located). The snow line is much higher near the equator (about 15,000 feet), for example, than it is near the poles (sea level or 0 feet in altitude).

Answer 2

Answer:

there is a absence of shiwaliks in eastern himalya thus the peaks are higher and snowline is greater
