At the summit of Doddabetta, elevation 8600 feet (not Himalayan, but a respectable height), it never freezes or snows, but never gets much over 70F either; a refreshing change from the heat and filthiness of Chennai. Here they actually care about litter and provide "dust bins" (which is the generic name for any kind of trash container from wastebasket to trash can to dumpster) which are both rare and ignored in the city.
