The Last Indian Village – Mana Gaon is approx. 4 km from Badrinath. This village, inhabited mainly by Indo-Mongolian tribes, is considered to be the last Indian village on this route before Tibet. Nearby are Vyas Cave, the rock cave of Saint Ved Vyas, author of the Mahabharata; Bhim Pul, a natural bridge over the Saraswati River; and Vasudhara Falls, a 122-meter-high waterfall, which are an important part of the pilgrimage to Badrinath.
