The Western Ghats: A Natural and Cultural Treasure of India

 

Older than the Himalayas, the Western Ghats mountains are a natural and cultural gem of India.

Recognized as one of the world’s eight major biodiversity hotspots, this mountain range plays a crucial role in shaping the region’s climate by influencing the monsoon phenomenon. It is home to exceptional flora and fauna, with over 325 threatened species and a remarkable rate of endemism.

Beyond its ecological richness, the Western Ghats hold great cultural and spiritual significance, featuring ancient temples and age-old traditions.

Spanning six Indian states, this region embodies a perfect harmony between nature and culture, making it a site of universal importance for conservation and human heritage.
