Khajjiar, called “Mini Switzerland” is a beautiful ideal place, that makes an ideal day excursion or even an overnight visit. Far from any major town, this tranquil spot has a small lake in the centre, on which is a floating island. The glade and the lake are held sacred to Khajjinag – after whom the place is named. The lake remains full of water in all the seasons and requires no rain water for survival.

Kailash View and Horse Riding : On a clear day, you can see the Mountain Kailash from Khajjiar ground. You can also enjoy the horse riding here. Some local people are engaged in this business and you can ride the whole Khajjiar ground (from outside) for a nominal charge. The riding is very enjoyable, also the horses are well trained and do not scare you away.

‘Panch Pandav’ Tree : On the left side is the photograph of one of the rest houses in Khajjiar. This one is special because the tree near the rest house is of a very different kind. It is called the “Panch Pandav” (Five Pandavs). Though the main root is the same but the base of the tree is divided into five parts, which make it one of the kind. It is also one of the main attractions when you begin to explore the Khajjiar ground on your feet. Near this rest house is the way leading to a small village and Khajjiar School.
Well I know its not over for Khajjiar, there are lot of places which you can visit in this beautiful land of Himachal. I’ll be back with more…
