The landscape of India is diverse, ranging from snow-capped mountain ranges to deserts, plains, rainforests, hills, and plateaus. Having a coastline of over 7,000 kilometres (4,350 mi), most of India lies on a peninsula in Southern Asia that protrudes into the Indian Ocean. India is bounded in the southwest by the Arabian Sea and in the east and southeast by the Bay of Bengal. |
