The Western Ghats or Sahyadri run parallel to the west coast of Indian peninsula through six states and are called 'The Great Escarpment of India'. The northern section of the Ghats starts from Tapi valley. The southern part of the Western Ghats is separated from the main Sahyadri range by Pal ghat Gap. Anaimudi (2,695 m) is the highest peak in the whole of southern India. Three ranges radiate in different directions from Anaimudi - Anamalai, Palani, and Cardamom. Jindhagada is the highest mountain in the Eastern Ghats situated in Araku, district Vishakapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.
