The Western Ghats Expeditions
One of the hottest biodiversity hotspots among the 34 recognised landscapes across the world. The mighty Sahyadri mountain range popularly known as the Western Ghats is rather a great escarpment which according to several geologists believed to be an eroded edge of the Deccan Plateau that runs almost parallel to the west coast of India. Spread over approximately 160,000 square km, Western Ghats form the catchment area for numerous rivers that drain almost 40% of India.
