Vegetation is absent beyond 4500 meters in the Himalayas primarily due to extreme environmental conditions, including low temperatures, high winds, and reduced atmospheric pressure. These factors limit the availability of water and nutrients, making it difficult for plants to survive. Additionally, the harsh climate creates a short growing season, which further restricts the types of vegetation that can thrive at such high altitudes. As a result, above this elevation, the landscape is predominantly characterized by rocky and barren terrain.
