KR runs along the border of the western ghats and the coastal plains, so while it does encounter several hills and gorges along it's route, there is no ruling gradient i.e., you can check the altitude of each station along the route in terms of MSL, and you can see that on an average, most of the stations are between 10-50m above sea level and the stations at either ends ( MAQ and Roha ) are both at the same level. Thus, the route itself is pretty much a very level route with tunnels being cut through the intervening hills. It passes through hills, but it isn't a ghat route. Bankers are not really needed.
