Mana village is a quaint tiny hamlet situated on the Indo-Tibetan border. This village is the last village of India and it is now declared as a tourism village of Uttarakhand.


The residents of Mana village are the last generation of Bhotia community of Mongolian tribes. When the Badrinath temple opens after Akshaya Tritaya in May, they come and live here for 6 months to keep the culture and traditions of their tribe alive. The rest of the year they live in Chamouli, which is 100 Km away from Badrinath. The total population of this village is 200.
