Visit the Rato 'red' Machindranath Temple located amidst the village, which is a shikhara styled beautiful temple. Observe locals busy with their daily lives.

After, proceed towards Khokana and pass by the Karya Binayak Temple (dedicated to elephant headed god 'Ganesh'). There's plenty of greenery and farmlands around Khokana as the locals are highly dependent on agriculture.
