Explanation:

Western Himalaya refers to the western half of the Himalayan Mountain region, stretching
from Badakhshan in northeastern Afghanistan/southern Tajikistan, through Kashmir to
Nepal. Eastern Himalaya is situated between Central Nepal in the west and Myanmar in the
east, occupying southeast Tibet in China, Sikkim, North Bengal, Bhutan and North-East India.
The western himalayas consists of the most continuous range and the loftiest peaks and
compared to eastern Himalayas. The western Himalayas receive more precipitation from
northwest in the winters, and eastern Himalayas receive more precipitation from
southeastern monsoon in the summers. Due to higher temperature and perception, the
Eastern Himalayas are far greener with forests than the Western Himalaya.
