Khanapur

Khanapur stands on the Malaprabha River near the forested eastern slopes of the Western Ghats. The river rises to the west among the hills and flows through this country before joining the Krishna farther east. Streams descend from the wooded uplands into the river valley, while passes across the Ghats connect the plateau with the western coast. The town occupies the meeting place of a mountain landscape and the inland Deccan.
