Eastern Ghats

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. As discussed above, most of these rivers have their origin in the western ghats.

The highest peak of Eastern Ghats is the Jindhagada peak (1690 meters). It is also known as Arma Konda or Sitamma Konda.

The main crop produced in the eastern ghats is Rice, which is also the staple food of the people living in the region

Western Ghats

The Western Ghats are also known as Sahyadri in certain parts of India.

They run parallel to the western coast of India.

Although most of the peninsular rivers drain into the Bay of Bengal, their origin point is the western ghats.

Important rivers such as the Tungabhadra, the Krishna, the Godavari have their origin point in the western ghats.

It causes the orographic rainfall due to which the windward side of the mountains receives a lot of rainfall, however, the leeward side remains dry.

The highest peak in the Western Ghats is Anaimudi and its elevation is 2695 meters or 8842 ft. It is known as Everest of South India. The name Anaimudi translates as Elephant’s head. It is located at the border of Ernakulam and Idukki District of Kerala.
