Himachal
is situated in the western Himalayas. Covering an area of 55,673 kilometres
(34,594 mi),Himachal Pradesh is a mountainous state with elevation ranging
from about 350 metres (1,148 ft) to 7,000 metres (22,966 ft) above
the sea level
The
drainage system of Himachal is composed both of rivers and glaciers. Himalayan
rivers criss-cross the entire mountain chain. In fact the rivers are older than
the mountain system. Himachal Pradesh provides water to both the Indus and
Ganges basins. The drainage systems of the region are the Chandra Bhaga or the
Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas, the Sutlej and the Yamuna. These rivers are
perennial and are fed by snow and rainfall. They are protected by an extensive
cover of natural vegetation.
There
is great variation in the climatic conditions of Himachal due to extreme
variation in elevation. The climate varies from hot and sub-humid tropical in
the southern tracts to cold, alpine and glacial in the northern and eastern
mountain ranges with more elevation. The state has areas like Dharamsala that
receive very heavy rainfall, as well as those like Lahaul and Spiti that are
cold and almost rainless. Broadly, Himachal experiences three seasons; hot
weather season, cold weather season and rainy season. Summer lasts from mid
April till the end of June and most parts become very hot (except in alpine
zone which experiences a mild summer) with the average temperature ranging from
28 °C (82 °F) to 32 °C (90 °F). Winter lasts from late November till mid-March.
Snowfall is common in alpine tracts (generally above 2,200 metres
(7,218 ft) i.e. in the Higher and Trans-Himalayan region).
