Dalhousie
Khajjiar, 24 km from Dalhousie, is a breathtaking high-altitude meadow at 1,920 metres that has earned the sobriquet 'Mini Switzerland of India' — officially recognised by Switzerland itself when they planted their country's flag post here. The vast circular meadow ringed by deodar forest with a small lake at its centre and the snow-dusted Dhauladhar range as backdrop is one of the most visually perfect landscapes in all of Himachal Pradesh.
Khajjiar gets extremely crowded on weekends during the May–June season. A Monday–Thursday visit is far more peaceful and lets you soak in the landscape's genuine tranquility.
