Khajjiar is a small valley that lies between Chamba and Dalhousie along the 52 km stretch. It is also known as mini Switzerland because of its close resemblance to the beautiful landscapes of Switzerland, making it a perfect honeymoon destination. A serene lake surrounded by little grassland and on the slopes canopied by pines and deodars, Khajjiar is a tourist paradise. Thought the place is easily accessible by cabs and buses, the lush valley still retains its innocent charm and tranquility. At such small confined area Khajjiar offers various ecosystems like grassland, lake and forest. Khajjiar is one of the most attractive places even in Himalayan region and is named after an ancient Temple Khajinag.
The saucer shaped glen has a periphery of 5kms. The deodar forest surrounding the glen is part of the Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary. A brook fed- little tarn in the middle of the glen made the whole place just perfect. Khajjiar also draws many adventure enthusiasts. Revolving silver ball, paragliding are some activities one can enjoy at the glen. Fresh air, radiant sun and dewy grass lend a healing touch. In winter whole area can turn into a snow caped wonderland.
Khajinag, the 12th Century Temple dedicated to goddess Devi is a major attraction here.
