Mana Village, 3 kilometres from Badrinath, is the last Indian village before the Tibet border — for decades known as “India’s last village,” now officially renamed “India’s first village” — and one of the top places to visit in Badrinath. The village is home to a traditional Bhotiya community and key attractions like Vyas Gufa, Ganesh Gufa, Saraswati Temple, and Bhim Pul — a natural rock bridge linked to the legend of Bhima crossing the Saraswati River.
What makes this place special
A natural cave where the sage Veda Vyasa is said to have composed the Mahabharata — Vyas Gufa — is still visited by pilgrims, with a small shrine inside and is one of the key places to visit in Badrinath.
