Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow-
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.
Answer the following questions:
(i) Where did the travellers stop for breakfast?
(ii) Why is a part of the journey to Yamunotri to be undertaken on foot?
