Khajjiar

Often referred to as the Switzerland of India, Khajjiar is located a little outside of Dalhousie towards Chamba, and ideally warrants an overnight visit. This tranquil saucer-shaped meadow is ensconced within a deodar forest which forms a ring around its periphery. Little forest trails fan out from the meadow which are best seen on a hack ride: you’ll find lots of pony operators offering their services at the meadow. Visitors also make a beeline to the Khajinag temple which features fine wood carvings and a gold dome.
