How to read this map
The highest point of the Western Ghats is Anamudi, 2,236 m (7,336 ft) above sea level. The range is about 1,600 km (994 mi) long.
The dashed outline marks the Western Ghats as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Pune, Surat and Nagpur. Labeled countries: India.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Western Ghats come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Western Ghats are, not a surveyed boundary.
