Silliserh Lake
Siliser is a places where you can enjoy picnic and more. If I am not wrong, the lake itself is beautiful and going for a boat ride in the lake is highly recommended by me. But for a rider/driver in you, Siliserh offers much more than a mere a destination. The winding single lane roads once you cross Alwar are a pleasure to drive/ride on.
