The Western Ghats (Sahyadri mountains) are a mountain range in the west of peninsular
India. They run north to south along the western edge of the
Deccan Plateau, and separate 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.
