Altai/Himalayan Accentors are primarily found in the northern mountainous regions, particularly in the Himalayas and the Karakoram Range. They inhabit alpine meadows, rocky slopes, and scrubby areas at elevations ranging from 2,000 to 4,500 meters.

Altai/Himalayan Accentors are typically solitary or found in small groups. They forage on the ground, hopping between rocks and vegetation in search of food. During breeding season, males engage in territorial displays, singing melodious songs to attract mates. They build cup-shaped nests on the ground or low in shrubs, where females lay a clutch of eggs. These birds are known for their hardiness, surviving harsh winter conditions by migrating to lower altitudes or seeking sheltered areas.
