western ghats

     

The Western Ghats (Kannaa ಸಹ್ಯಾದ್ರಿ, Marathi सह्यद्रि, Malayalam സഹ്യപര്‍വ്വതം, Tamil மேற்கு தொடர்ச்சி மலை) also known as Sahyadri mountains, is a mountain range in the west of peninsular India. It runs north to south along the western edge of the Deccan Plateau, and separates the plateau from a narrow coastal plain along the Arabian Sea. The range starts near the border of Gujarat and Maharashtra, south of the Tapti River, and runs approximately 1600 km through the states of Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala ending at Kanyakumari, at the southern tip of the Indian peninsula. About sixty percent of the Western Ghats are located in the state of Karnataka.
