that offers a wide range of climatic zones across the length and
breath of the country. From the steaming tropical wet evergreen

of the Himalayas, India offers an amazing range of biological and

Peninsula, the Indian coasts, the Western Ghats, the Gangetic plain,
the Northeastern Region, Trans Himalayas, Himalayas, Semi Arid zones,
the Indian Deserts, and the Indian Islands. The highest mountain
