'''Chogath (Thapnath)''' is a village in [[Umrala]] Taluka of [[Bhavnagar district]], [[Gujarat]], India. It is a former [[princely state]].

==Demographics==
In 1872, the population had reached 1900 souls, but that number decreased to 1701 in 1881, owing to the ravages of the famine of 1878–79.<ref name="bg"/>

==Geography and etymology==
The [[Kalubhar River]], which rises in a kund or reservoir near [[Babra, Gujarat|Babra]], used to formerly flow about two miles within Vala frontier. But it changed its course in late 19th century, and started flowing close to Chogath. The village derives its name from four small hills nearly adjoining it, called the Khodiar, Modlio, Bhutio and Dangardi.<ref name="bg"/>
