The range starts at the Tapi river gap near the Gujarat-Maharashtra border & passes through Maharashtra,Goa, Karnataka,Kerala & Tamil Nadu till Kanya Kumari.The total length is 1600 km.The average height in the north is 900 m.but the highest peaks are found in the South-Western Ghats,Anai Mudi(2695 m.) being the highest.The range also the source of such major rivers as Godavari,Krishna,Kaveri etc.The range is continuous except a gap in the south called the Palghat gap.The range obstructs the South-west monsoon,giving heavy rains to coastal belt & crestline region & creates a rainshadow to the east on the Deccan plateau.Many well known hill stations like Mahabaleshwar,Udhagamandalam(Ooty)Kodai are located in the Western Ghats
