The drive upto the pass is quite an uphill and tedious one,yet the pass itself is superb to view.The mountains all over, the cool temperature, and a 2km walk to a lake -- are all truly enjoyable.
You have to go via Shoja village.

We went to a small village called Goshaini.We stayed at the Raju's Guesthouse that is situated on the banks of the river Theerthan.The river is fed by glacier water.The whole place is so scenic and unspoilt by modernisation.To this day,I have not seen a better place.
The best part is ofcourse Raju's guesthouse,which truly makes your stay so comfortable and homely.The food there is too good to believe,the rooms are cosy and their hospitality -- unparalleled!!
What to do there
*Raju's dogs would guide you on walks!!
*Take long walks and enjoy nature.
*Do nothing,laze around,sleep on hammocks,eat and be merry by the bonfire in the nights!
*Go trekking in the near by Himalayan forest park(about 10 kms trek)
*go visit Jalori pass
*go to near by Banjaar village and drink in the village atmosphere.
*read books and improve health with the great fresh food that Raju's wife Lata ji cooks
*Just go there -- you will know what to do or not to do!!!! Phone: 09418149808/01903201108/01903225Website: goshaini@yahoo.com

Khajjiar is famous for the popular Khajji Naga shrine dedicated to the serpent god from which the name is believed to have been derived. The temple dates back to the 10th century and is interspaced with different patterns and images on the ceiling and wooden posts.
The Khajji Nag temple is made in pahari style and the object of worship is 'Nagdev', carved out of stone in human from. The images of five Pandvas Yudhishtra, Bhim, Arjun,Nakul and Sahdev beautiful made out of wood stand in the corners of the Mandapa of the temple. A small temple of Hidimba also stands close by.
