– Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve is located in the Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats landscape, specifically connecting the Biligirirangan Hills (considered part of the Western Ghats) and the Eastern Ghats. It forms a crucial corridor for wildlife, particularly elephants, between the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve (at the junction of the two Ghats) and the Eastern Ghats.
– Nallamala Forest and Seshachalam Biosphere Reserve are primarily located within the Eastern Ghats, not serving as a link *between* the two ranges.
– Nagarhole National Park is located firmly within the Western Ghats, near the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, but is not a link between the two Ghats; rather, it’s part of the Western Ghats complex.
