Ghat Roads
13°38′32″N 79°22′20″E / 13.6422638°N 79.3721351°E
Ghat Roads are access routes into the mountainous Western and Eastern Ghats, mountain ranges of the Indian subcontinent. These roads are remarkable feats of engineering, and most were constructed during the British Raj. Ghat Roads were built to connect to the hill stations established in the mountains for residents to avoid summer heat. They generally served to connect coastal areas with the upper Deccan Plateau.
The Indian state of Tamil Nadu has highest number of Ghat Roads.[better source needed]
The Western Ghats are bounded by Tapti River to the north, and the Eastern Ghats are bounded by Mahanadi River to the north.[better source needed][relevant?]
The Western Ghats lie between coastal plains adjoining the Arabian Sea and the Deccan Plateau. There are many Ghat Roads which connect Karavali districts with the Malenadu and Bayaluseemae regions. Most of these ghats are very scenic during monsoon season in the months of June, July, and August. Landslides can occur in a few of these ghats during rains.
Locations of Ghat Roads in the state of Karnataka include:
Locations of Ghat Roads in the state of Kerala include:
