Ghat Roads

Ghat Roads were built to connect to the hill stations established in the mountains for residents to avoid summer heat.

The Indian state of Tamil Nadu has highest number of Ghat Roads.

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.
