Londa

Londa lies in the wooded Western Ghats near the country of Goa and Belgaum. Evergreen and moist deciduous forests cover the surrounding hills, where the southwest monsoon brings abundant rain. The uplands form part of the meeting ground between the coastal rivers flowing towards the Arabian Sea and the drier Deccan plateau to the east. Paths through this forested mountain country linked inland settlements with the ports and valleys of the western coast.
