975. Palakkad Gap
This picture was taken at Nelliyampathy, and the valley behind the tree is the Palakkad Gap starting from Kollenkode at the foothills of the steep mountain and running 30-40 km towards the North.
The 1600km long Sahyadri (Western Ghats) begins on the South of River Tapti in Gujarat, runs through the west side of peninsular India and ends at Kanyakumari, leaving a narrow corridor of coastal land where the State of Kerala is located. Palakkad, is a sharp discontinuity of the mountain, with high ranges of Nelliyampathy on the South, Kalldikode on the North and lush green paddy fields in the intervening plains.
This is perhaps the last tree on the Southern segment of the mountain.
