Q.1 Read the following passage carefully.
We left Dehradun early in the morning and stopped by for breakfast at
Mussouri. From Mussouri the picturesque road heads north to Yamuna bridge,
then to Barkot (where one road branches to Gangotri). The road winds along the
Yamuna river through luxurious dense green vegetation to Hanumanchatti, the end
of motorable road. The remaining journey has to be undertaken on foot or pony.
Yamunotri is only 13 km. from Hanumanchatti. But it is better to proceed
another 6 km. and have the night halt at Janakibaichatti. The journey to
Yamunotri is simply breathtaking. High snow-covered peaks all around, glaciers,
streams and waterfalls, vibrant green foliage, and the pristine air are a sheer
delight to tired city lungs. Yamunotri, 3322 metres above sea level, is located
on the western bank of the great peak of Banderpunch (meaning - monkey’s tail)
which is 6315 metres high.
