Location
It is found in the Himalayan front of northern India and Pakistan.[2] Its natural habitats are high-altitude rivers, springs, and other running water in open forest and grassland habitats. There seem not to be any major threats to this species.[1]
Behavior, habitat use patterns and morphometric traits of the overwintering tadpoles of this species has been found to be influenced by check dams built in the montane streams.[3][4]
