Highlights
x GPM-IMERG and WRF are recommended for hydroclimatic applications in Eastern Himalaya
x ERA5, TRMM-3B42RTV7 and IMD-0.25°captured extreme precipitation events satisfactorily
x IMD-0.25°is advised for precipitation trend analysis after suitable bias-correction
x GPPs underestimated (overestimated) precipitation below (above) 3000 masl elevation
x Satellite GPPs captured the seasonal and diurnal cycles with subdued amplitudes.
