What is a characteristic of the highland climate found in South Asia’s mountainous regions?

Highland climates occur at high elevations, where temperatures are much colder than in nearby lowlands. In South Asia’s highest mountain regions, this can mean snow for nearly the entire year, so “nearly year-round snow” is the best choice. Heavy rainfall and humid air are more typical of monsoon-influenced areas, while extremely high temperatures do not describe a highland climate.
