Why was melting of snow an economic opportunity for Himalayan pastoralists?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because high pastures opened and animals could graze

When snow melted, grass grew and high-altitude summer pastures became accessible. Pastoralists could move their herds there for fresh fodder, supporting livestock rearing and their income. Cotton markets and railway construction were not direct outcomes of snowmelt. Exam tip: remember the sequence: snowmelt → high pastures open → summer grazing.
