Meadow plateau ~24 km from Dalhousie ringed by deodars, with a small lake and 12th-century Khajji Nag temple.
Khajjiar is a saucer-shaped meadow at about 1,920–2,000 m inside the Kalatop–Khajjiar sanctuary in Chamba district. In 1992 a Swiss envoy dubbed it 'Mini Switzerland of India'. The Khajji Nag temple, built in the 12th century, has a golden dome and wooden sanctum. Pony rides and zorbing are common on the meadow.
