The four main physiographic regions namely the coastal plains, the hills of the Western Ghats, the surging Karnataka Plateau in the east, and the north-west cotton-growing region showcases lushness and abundant wildlife.
However, the Karnataka Plateau has poor soils and suffers periodic droughts even with the fact that Karnataka's three main rivers, the Cauvery, the Krishna, and the Tungabhadra, originate from it.
Karnataka is also known to have an abundance of caradamom and pepper, grown all across the forest of Malnad. Coffee lovers moreover, will truly get their much-needed adrenaline rush from the famous coffee of Coork and Chikmagalur.
Rightly known as the birthplace of Indian music, the glittering gold from the Kolar mines and the shimmering silks have been celebrated in songs and verses.
