Naugaon Town

Distance : 1372m

Naugaon is a small town about 12km from Bernigaad that offers the best view of the Bandarpoonch Peak (6315m). Naugaon has the last petrol pump on this route. There are a few village restaurants with S.T.D./I.S.D. phone booths. The road branches off here. The one leading to the left goes to Purola (1524m) and Tons Valley, while the other leads to Yamunotri and Uttarkashi. The petrol pump is 500 metres down the Yamunotri road.

After crossing the iron bridge on the Yamuna, one leaves the Yamuna valley behind and beautiful pine forests herald the beginning of a different terrain.
