Answer:
Western Ghats are layered with thick evergreen forests because they receive more rainfall as compared to the Eastern Ghats that are covered with deciduous forests. The Western Ghats get their rainfall from the monsoon winds that blow from Arabian Sea.

It is because the western slope gets much heavier rainfall than the eastern slopes. Moisture laden air moves eastwards across, the Western Ghats during the monsoon season.
