💡 Solution & Explanation
The Palghat Gap is a major low-lying mountain pass cutting through the Western Ghats between the Nilgiri Hills to the north and the Anaimalai Hills to the south. Ranges like the Aravallis and Vindhyas are located far to the north and play no role in this specific southern corridor. This gap facilitates communication and trade routes between Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
