Correct Answer : Valley of Flowers National Park
Note :
The Alpine forests are found all along the Himalaya at altitude ranging between 2500m to 3500m.
Valley of Flowers National Park - At 3352 to 3658 meters above sea level Namdapha National Park has a very wide altitudinal variation – from 200m to 4,500m in the snow-capped mountain. Thus, it doesn‘t lie ‘completely‘ in the temperate alpine zone.
Correct Answer : does not set below the horizon at the Arctic Circle
Note : The equator is the circle where the Sun is directly overhead at noon on the equinoxes. The Arctic and Antarctic Circles are located at ±66.5 degrees latitude. Note that 66.5 + 23.5 equals 90 degrees. This means that on December 21, when the Sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn at noon, it will not be visible from the Arctic Circle. So above the Arctic Circle, there is a period during the winter when the sun remains below the horizon. The same is true of the Antarctic Circle during Southern Hemisphere winter. On June 21st, when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer at noon, it is not visible from below the Antarctic Circle.
