ISLAMABAD: Cold deserts are found in various parts of the world. An arid environment with less than 25 cm of yearly precipitation is known as a cold desert. Their location at a high latitude gives them a temperate climate with hot summers and cold winters.

The soil and weather conditions are unsuitable for plant development. Thus, other than isolated plants, the area is devoid of vegetation.
