The Eastern Ghats are a mountain range located along the eastern coast of India, stretching from Odisha in the north to Tamil Nadu in the south. This range is characterized by its rugged terrain, rich biodiversity, and numerous rivers that originate from it, including the Godavari and Krishna. The Eastern Ghats are less continuous than the Western Ghats and feature a variety of ecosystems, including forests, grasslands, and wetlands. These mountains are home to several important wildlife sanctuaries and national parks, such as the Nallamala Forest and Satyamangalam Tiger Reserve. The region supports diverse flora and fauna, including many endemic species. The Eastern Ghats also play a crucial role in the local climate, influencing rainfall patterns in the surrounding areas.
