The Himalayas act as a barrier to the frigid katabatic winds flowing down from Central Asia. Thus, North India is kept warm or only mildly cooled during winter. The various rivers that originate in these mountains flow through the fertile Indo-Gangetic plain. The Himalayan mountain range bisects India from the rest of Asia, apart from the various geographic functions that they perform, mountains is the primary source of mighty rivers in India, and also provide ample opportunities for eco-tourism, exceptional natural beauty, sparking waterfalls, habitat for many species, medicinal plants, beautiful birds, unique reptiles and wild animals. They offer scope for numerous adventure mountain activities such as trekking, skiing, skating, rock climbing and snow climbing. Himalaya is the abode of Shiva and his consort "Shakthi" (literally - power or the driving force).
