What if the geographic pole were in the Himalayas?

From a climatic point of view, what if Earth went through a radical polar shift that would place the geographical pole right where the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau are? (No matter if southern or northern pole.. let's say southern).
These are some of the driest regions in the world, so I wonder if there would be enough humidity to form an ice sheet. Would that result in a polar cap with a dry area in the middle?
Note that if I'm right the opposite pole would lie somewhere offshore of Chile.
Here's a handy map i did :)
