Gondwana Hills

These wooded Gondwana hills lie in the Satpura uplands south of the Narmada. The greater range stretches across central India between the valleys of the Narmada and Tapti, with parallel ridges, deep valleys and forested slopes. Its central Mahadeo section includes the Pachmarhi plateau and Dhupgarh, the highest summit of the range. Sal grows on the higher plateau while teak covers many lower slopes, giving the hills a varied forest landscape.
