The western side of the mighty Indian Western Ghats rise majestically to over 2500 meters above mean sea level to capture the moisture laden trade winds that blow annually once over the India sub-continent. The location of these mountain ranges is such that the South-West Monsoon that break over the southern most tip of the peninsula during the last week of May, block the winds and they steadily rise against the mountain to condense rapidly and give copious rains on the western side. Consequently the eastern side is typically known as the rain shadow region, except those regions that lie close to the natural passes or gaps in these ranges.

∙ 12y agoThe western slopes of western ghats covered with thick forest and not the eastern slopes because te prevailing winds bring moisture to the western side, this allows forests to grow. The eastern side receive less rain because of the topograph (as air rises, it cools and carries less water) as such, after it passes over, there is less water (rain etc) thus forests can't grow the same.

2. moisture laden winds descend after giving rainfall to western sides of western Ghats and when they go to eastern side they go down as it is a slope and temperature increases that is why winds loose moisture while travelling there and give less rainfall
