The Ghat Mountains have milder climate and are not very high, while the Himalayas are very high, and the climate conditions are much more harsh.

Explanation:

The Ghat Mountains are two mountain ranges that are located along the eastern and western coastlines of India. These mountains are not high, and being located in a warm climate zone, they actually have pleasant climate. Having pleasant climate, but also good soil, and sufficient water, has provided the basic living conditions for the people, so these mountains have been solidly populated.

The Himalayas are the highest mountain range in the world. Their height and steepness, proved to be a big limiting factor when it comes to humans settling on them. The climate conditions are very harsh. There is very little fertile soil, limited to only few small areas. One side of the mountains is very dry, while the other has seasonal rainfall that is extremely high and causes more problems than benefits. Because of all of this, the people have largely avoided settling on these mountains. The Himalayas occupy territory in:

  • India
  • China
  • Bhutan
  • Nepal
  • Pakistan
  • Afghanistan
  • Tajikistan
  • Kyrgyzstan
