A linear hydrostatic model of a stably stratified air-stream flow over a two-dimensional orographic barrier is considered assuming wind increases linearly with height and stability is constant. Analytical expressions for mountain drags and momentum fluxes are obtained for Assam-Burma hills as well as Western Ghats of India. The general expression for mountain drag also obtained for both the ridges of Assam-Burma hills.
