The Last Indian Village: Mana, Uttarakhand.

Mana village is located in the district of Chamoli, Uttarakhand and at an altitude of 3,200mts above sea level. Mana is also the last village before Mana pass and is just 24kms at a distance from Indo-Tibet border. The village is at a distance of 2.5kms from a famous Hindu pilgrimage Badrinath, Uttarakhand. This is a place for trekking as well and there are many trekking spots located here. There is a waterfall located at 5kms of trek from Mana Village, Vasundara Falls.

My journey started from my hometown, Srinagar Grahwal. Srinagar is a small town in the foothills of Himalayas and at a distance of 200kms approx. from Badrinath. The route from Srinagar to Badrinath offers a joy of riding in hills, adventure and is a paradise for photographers. Landslides and narrow roads is one of the most common story of riding in hills. But as it is said," Rough roads leads to beautiful destinations."

All set to ride towards Badrinath and Mana.
