Detailed Solution

The Himalayas are a physical feature that shelters the Indian subcontinent from exceptionally cold winds from Central Asia.
The Himalayas acts as a climatic divide impacting massive air and water circulation and aid in determining meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and the Central Asian highlands to the north. In winter, the Great Himalaya Range blocks the passage of bloodless continental air from the north into India because of its location and massive height. Because of these mountains, the subcontinent gets warmer winters than central Asia.
