Why were freezing and melting of snow historically important for Himalayan pastoralists?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They indicated the opening and closing of pastures

Himalayan pastoralists moved with their herds between high-altitude and low-altitude pastures according to the season. When snow froze, high passes and pastures became inaccessible; when it melted, these areas opened again. Thus, snow conditions determined the timing and routes of their seasonal migration. Taxes at sea ports had no connection with this system. Exam tip: link pastoral communities with weather, grazing grounds, and seasonal migration.
