What is another name for the Western Ghats?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Sahyadri

The direct answer is C, Sahyadri. The Western Ghats are a long mountain escarpment running roughly parallel to India’s western coast. Sahyadri is another commonly used name for this same range, especially in Maharashtra and nearby regions. Option A, Himadri, refers to the Great Himalaya, the highest Himalayan range, not the Western Ghats. Option B, Shiwalik, refers to the outermost and youngest Himalayan range, not this peninsular range. Option C is correct because Sahyadri and Western Ghats are two names for the same physical feature. Option D, Zaskar or Zanskar, is a mountain range associated with the Himalayan region, particularly Ladakh, and is not another name for the Western Ghats. The key is to distinguish peninsular mountain ranges from Himalayan ranges. Memory cue: west coast mountains = Western Ghats = Sahyadri.
