Tilak bhai nothing can escape from your sharp eagle eye. Even just 15 days back, I crossed this section and never noticed this. But the whole route between Uttarkashi and Tilwada is a delight to drive and travel. The road is good, scenic with good views, less traffic also. I really enjoyed this. Although, we wanted to reach Chopta on the same day and when we reached tilwada at 6 pm and aborted our plan to reach chopta, I was a little bit disappointed but we stayed at Rudraprayag and returned next day and visited chopta. 
If it's true that we are here to help others, then, what exactly are the others here for?

My bad luck 
!! For the whole distance of 175 km from Uttarkashi to Tilwada, I did not get any views of Himalayas. First views I got on next day near Agatsyamuni on the way to Chopta

Bit of an unnecessary back-track. Tilwara GMVN is decent. And cheaper than Rudraprayag.

Dw sir, I was not aware about the GMVN at Tllwada and moreover on that evening we just dropped the plan to go to chopta at all and decided that we will stay at Rudrprayag on that night and next day move on to Rishikesh. But next morning itself the plans changed once again and we returned and went to Chopta. At Rudraprayag, we paid Rs.500 for a triple room and next evening when we returned from chopta, found a decent hotel at Tilwada itself and paid Rs.200 for a double room.
Ah, the joys of on-the-spot planning. I usually note for myself in advance all G/KVMNs on my likely routes.
Last year in Feb/March when Piyush and I went to Chopta, I deliberately targeted Tilwara for night-stay (coming from Delhi), although I would have preferred to break at Rudraprayag. Reason? - Tilwara GMVN's room tariff was almost half that of Rudraprayag's.

Thanks tilak bhai. I passed this place in the first week of October but missed the name. Got this kind of view from Agatsyamuni onwards.

@Tilak Bhai, Mosederbaer and Dilliwala, I personally believe that the views from Syalsaur is better that the views from Tilwara.. Expert opinion please..

That is correct, Tilwara being further downstream and many bends in between. But it's cheap. Can you tell me the distance between Uttarkashi to Gaurikund via Tilwara?
