Why do the western stopes of the western ghats covered with thick forests and not the eastern slopes?

Answer 1

One of the defining features of the region are the seasonal winds, or monsoons. In the summer, the winds blow off the Indian Ocean over India and Pakistan. The winds primarily blow out of the southwest inundating the landscape. Although the rains will effect the entire subcontinent, the Western Ghats and western coastal regions are hit directly with these heavy rains while the Eastern Ghats do receive as heavy a rain (it is not as direct and therefore not as saturating). The eastern coastal regions receive plenty of water as the rain and runoff flow down the Eastern Ghats to the Bay of Bengal.

Therefore, the thorough drenching the Western Ghats receive make it possible for thick forests to exist while the Eastern Ghats, not as drenched, will remain fertile but not covered with forests.

Answer 2
