It lies in the northwestern region of the [[Deccan Plateau]], between the [[Godavari]] and the [[Bhima]] rivers.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Harischandra Range|url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/255336/Harischandra-Range|publisher=Encyclopædia Britannica}}&lt;/ref&gt; These are low-lying hills with an average elevation of about 600 metres, and they lose elevation in the southeastern direction. The [[Kalsubai]] is the highest peak.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=IAS Pre: GS - Geography - Indian Geography Physical: India Physical|url=http://upscportal.com/civilservices/online-course/igp/csat-paper-i/geography/indian-geography-physical/india-physical-part-1|publisher=UPSC Portal}}&lt;/ref&gt; The [[Harishchandragad]] is another important peak. The range is thought to have been formed as a result of the downward erosion of the basaltic Deccan Plateau by the Godavari and Bhima rivers. In the northwest, the range merges with the [[Western Ghats]].<br /> <br /> The vegetation consists of [[deciduous forests]], especially [[teak]]. [[Ahmednagar]] is the important city of this region, and the hills lie between Ahmednagar and [[Pune]].<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{coord|19|30|N|73|30|E|display=title|region:IN_type:mountain_source:GNS-enwiki}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Hills of Maharashtra]]<br /> [[Category:Erosion landforms]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Maharashtra-geo-stub}}</div>
