Residing amid the beauty of majestic peaks and lustrous grasslands, this arcane holiday destination would be everyone’s much loved pleasure, if only they knew about it. Khajjiar flatters the beauty of Chamba, a renowned place in Himachal Pradesh. Dwelling at a distance of 24 km from Dalhousie, Khajjiar is surrounded by green meadows and dense forests.
Let me help you unwind the sublime and alluring appearance of this place.
Khajjiar charms the Dhauladhar range of Western Himalayas at the height of 6,500 feet from sea level
It dwells on a small plateau along with a stream fed lake
It is most approachable from Dalhousie. One could reach in an hour
It is indeed one of its kind place with a rare concoction of ecosystem: Lake, Pasture & Forest
With its topographical resemblance from Switzerland, Khajjiar received recognition as India’s “Mini Switzerland”in the year 1992 by Mr. Willy. T. Blazer, then Head of Chancery of Switzerland in India
As for stay, one has the choice of picking from cottages that are managed by HP tourism, Rest houses that are looked after by P.W.D / forest Dept or hotels in the nearby vicinity
The easiest mode of reaching here is a private vehicle, with which you can flutter around as per your wish since the local bus timings are subject to change. (That’s India in a nutshell)
This place is heaven for strolling and taking long walks. You can wander and hike through the pine trees.
Another thing that should be on your bucket list is the panoramic view of the mountain, since this place is at the foothills of Dhauladhar range
Khajjiar Lake is all the more a reason to be there at your earliest. It’s a dreamy destination with saucer shaped lush green meadow and a floating island
And kids are absolutely going to love it. Horse rides, adventure sports and immaculate rolling down the hill
The summers often see trails of leaves that fall off the branch
And winters enjoy resplendent camaraderie with snow
It is a scenic stairway to a heavenly destination. If you want a fancy vacation, then I’d suggest not to go there. But if you are really looking forward to something which is close to nature, away from the hustle and bustle of routine life, a place as placid as this could be your call.
