Khajjiar

Khajjiar is a small hill station in Chamba District, Himachal Pradesh, India. Another hill station, Dalhousie, is 24 kms away.

Khajjiar sits on a samll plateau surrounded by green meadows and dense forests about 6500 ft. above sea level in the foothills of the Dhauladhar ranges of the Western Himalayas.[1]

Khajjiar is often called the Mini Switzerland of Himachal Pradesh and was officially baptized thus by the Swiss Ambassador on July 7 1992. It has a rare combination of three ecosystems: lake, pasture and forest, all in one place.
