The overall topography reflects deep dissection, resulting in several distinct, isolated hill masses separated by broad river valleys, notably those carved by the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri rivers [2](/… -
Western Ghats
Linked via "Godavari"
The topography of the Ghats is characterized by high plateaus dissected by deep gorges and steep valleys. The average elevation gradually decreases from north to south, though several significant peaks exceed $2,000$ meters, such as Anamudi ($2,695\text{ m}$), the highest point in peninsular India.
The range acts as a significant watershed, partitioning the drainage basin of the Peninsular River System. Rivers originating in the Western Ghats, such as the Godavari, Krishna, and [Kaveri](/entr…
