SATPURA , a range of hills in the centre of See also:India. Beginning at the lofty See also:plateau of Amarkantak (about 82° E.), the range extends westward almost to the W. See also:coast. From Amarkantak an See also:outer See also:ridge runs S.W. for about too m. to a point known as the Saletekri hills in See also:Balaghat See also:district. As it proceeds westward the range narrows from a broad tableland to two parallel ridges enclosing the valley of the See also:Tapti, as far as the famous See also:- HILL

hill-fortress of Asirgarh. Beyond this point the See also:Khandesh hills, which See also:separate the valley of the See also:Nerbudda from that of the Tapti, See also:complete the See also:chain as far as the Western See also:Ghats. The mean See also:elevation is about 2500 ft.; but the plateaus of Amarkantak and Chauradadar in the See also:east of See also:Mandla district rise to nearly 3500 ft., and many of the peaks and some of the tablelands exceed this See also:altitude. The hill of Khamla in See also:Betul district is 3700 ft., which is also the See also:general height of the Chikalda hills overlooking the See also:Berar See also:plain, while the See also:Pachmarhi hills east of Betul, rising abruptly from the Nerbudda valley, culminate in Dhokgarh at an elevation of 4500 ft. Just east of Asirgarh there is a break in the range, through which passes the railway from Bombay to See also:Jubbulpore, the elevation at this point being about 1240 ft. The extreme length of the range is about 600 m.; the breadth, which is too m. at its See also:head across Balaghat and Mandla, diminishes to the narrow ridges of See also:Nimar.
