Upar Ghat

The uplands of Upar Ghat lie within the wooded and broken country of the Chotanagpur plateau. Ridges and steep slopes separate the high tablelands from the valleys below, where streams run towards the great river systems of northern India. The plateau is not a single level surface: hills, escarpments and smaller basins divide it into distinct tracts. Forest and rocky ground give the mountain approaches a very different character from the alluvial plains beyond.
