Must do

While travelling to Trilokinath you are going to witness many things. But few things you must do are here

1.After crossing Rohtang pass and reaching Khoksar one should stop and have some rice with meat. Yes, this is a must do thing according to me, crossing Rohtang is quiet a hectic job especially driving down the slope.
Tiredness vanishes when this famous food of Khoksar enters your stomach.

2.Sissu is a beautiful station, which is famous for its lake and Sissu fall. Hence, one should try to go for some off-road as well as offbeat to admire the place.

3.The last thing which I think is the most important is that your cameras should be fully charged because the rawness of the nature that you are going to witness will become part of your special memory.
