The Himalayas wall off India’s north and include Kangchenjunga, the country’s highest peak, on the border with Nepal. South of the mountains the Indo-Gangetic Plain, built from river silt, stretches across the country and is among the most densely farmed regions on Earth. The Thar Desert lies in the northwest. Most of southern India is the Deccan Plateau, a triangular tableland edged by two lines of hills, the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats, with narrow coastal plains beyond them.

Built from real data, not stock images.
The terrain is drawn from a global elevation model (Mapzen terrain tiles, built from NASA SRTM and other public surveys). Coastlines, rivers, lakes and feature names come from Natural Earth. The colors are spread over this country’s own elevation range, so its terrain shows clearly whether it is flat or mountainous.
