Located in the Western Ghats in Kerala state, this impressive mountain is situated within Eravikulam National Park. Dodabetta, at 2,637 meters, is the second-highest peak in the Western Ghats. Mahendragiri is the highest peak in the Eastern Ghats, while the Nilgiris refers to an entire mountain range rather than a specific peak.
