A rare mountain range in India

You are seeing the Sahyadri range (the northern part of the Western Ghats), a colossal wall formed millions of years ago due to volcanic eruptions (known as Deccan Traps) that slope downwards as it goes east and climbs higher as it proceeds southwards towards the states of Karnataka and Kerala. The Western Ghats encompasses three ranges as part of its range. The northern part of this range, from the Tapi River near Surat to the Terekhol River in Goa, is called the Sahyadri.
