Geography and Climate of Pukhgundi | |||
Pukhgundi, a nation situated in western Audonia, boasts a diverse geography marked by coastal plains, mountainous regions, and a unique t-shaped peninsula. The country's climate is predominantly tropical wet, influenced by its proximity to the Sea of Saksona and the Aab-e-Farus sea. | |||
Topography | |||
Terai Lowlands: The southern part of Pukhgundi features the fertile Terai lowlands, stretching along the Ritsa Coast and extending inland. This region serves as the country's agricultural heartland, supporting a variety of crops like rice, jute, and potatoes. | |||
Machhapuchhre Mountains: The southwestern region is dominated by the majestic Machhapuchhre mountain range, with elevations reaching up to 6,993 meters (22,943 ft). This area experiences a highland climate, with cooler temperatures and unique flora and fauna. | |||
T-Shaped Peninsula: The northern region is characterized by a distinctive t-shaped peninsula jutting into the Aab-e-Farus sea. The western arm of this peninsula forms the Bay of Kimanu, while the eastern arm creates the Bay of Bargar. The Strait of Kipe separates the peninsula from the mainland to the north. | |||

Pukhgundi's climate is primarily tropical wet, characterized by high humidity and temperatures. The average annual temperature ranges from 25°C (77°F) to 30°C (86°F) in the lowlands, while the mountainous regions experience cooler temperatures. Rainfall is abundant throughout the year, particularly during the monsoon season from June to September. The western side of the Machhapuchhre mountains experiences a tropical dry climate due to the rain shadow effect, receiving significantly less rainfall. | |||
