India is a beautiful country. It is known for its diverse cultures and varied taste. All the states in India are incredibly beautiful. Himachal is one such place which is known for its beautiful mountains and scenic beauty.
A small place in Himachal is “Khajjiar”, which sits on a plateau with a small stream-faced lake in the middle that has been covered over with weeds. This place is called as India’s Switzerland. This hill station is surrounded by meadows and forests. It is about 6,500 feet (2,000 m) above sea level in the foothills of the Dhauladhar ranges of the Western Himalayas and peaks can be seen in the distance. It is a part of the Kalatop Khajjiar Sanctuary. Khajjiar can be reached from Dalhousie, the nearest major town and hill station, by bus in an hour or so. It has a rare combination of three ecosystems: lake, pasture and forest.
Khajjiar is among the 160 locations in the world that bear topographical resemblance with Switzerland. The counselor also took from Khajjiar a stone which will form part of a stone collage around the Swiss Parliament to remind the visitors of Khajjiar as a Mini Switzerland of India. Because of its picturesque beauty Khajjiar is also called “Mini Switzerland”.
