<P> The ecoregion forms a belt of coniferous forest covering 27,500 square kilometres ( 10,600 sq mi ) from 3,000 to 4,000 metres ( 9,800 to 13,100 ft ) elevation extending from the Gandaki River in Nepal east through Bhutan and into Arunachal Pradesh . It is part of a transition zone from Indomalaya ecozone , in the south , to the Palearctic ecozone , in the north and is the last habitat below the treeline of the Himalayas . The Himalayas are lined with belts of habitat from the grassy foothills to the high peaks and are home to a number of birds and animals that migrate seasonally through these zones , including these conifer forests , each of which provides crucial habitat at different times of the year . Furthermore the streams and rivers of the steep mountainsides will flood if not held in place by woodland . </P>
