Snow line is a line above which no vegetation grows on high altitude mountains because of permanent snow cover. Bay of Bengal branch of the Southwest monsoon winds cause copious rainfall in the eastern Himalayas while monsoon winds hardly reach Western Himalayas and thus causing no rainfall. This higher rainfall leads to decrease in the height of snow line in the Eastern Himalayas.
