The eastern ghats run parallel to the eastern coastal plains of India. Unlike the western ghats, they are discontinuous in nature and is dissected by the rivers that drain into the Bay of Bengal. ... It must be noted that the eastern ghats are lower in elevation than the western ghats.

Continuous, can be crossed through the passes only.

Higher; average elevation is 900−1600 meters

It experiences orographic rain mostly in summer due to the summer monsoons. The climate is   hot and moist.

Soil is highly fertile. Rice, spices, rubber and fruits like coconuts, cashew nuts etc. are grown  

Eastern Ghats

Discontinuous, irregular and dissected by rivers draining into the Bay of Bengal.  

Lower; average elevation is 600 meters
