While it is possible to go by road (22 km), this beautiful glade is just a pleasant day's walk from Dalhousie. A picturesque spot with an emerald saucer shaped meadow amidst a dense Deodar forest which even has a lake with a floating island at its centre, has been called "India' Switzerland". A temple with a golden spire by the wayside and a golf course makes Khajjiar for a perfect holiday setting in the mountains. At the old temple (12th century) snake god Khajji Nag is worshiped in a human form. Five life size wooden statues signify presence of Pandava princes from the epic age of Mahabharata.

Uncharted territory of Chamba retains the luxury of open spaces and traditional living. It is a cold land with warm people under the purest of skies. Tribal Gaddi people sitting besides log fires with friends and relatives in winter evenings around Chowgan of Chamba takes one back into vintage era. Such is the land where the love lore of Kunju-Chanchalo and Sunni-Bhunku are still sung. Town of Chamba founded by Raja Sahil Varman in 920 AD, offers a variety of scenic beauty. On the fringe are Shivalik Mountains and three other well-defined snowy ranges of Dhauladhar, Pir Panjal and Zanskar which encompass all shades of Himalayan lands. Ravi River flowing at the feet of Chamba town is associated with many melodic folk songs.

Dalhousie is a hill station full of colonial charm that holds lingering decodes of the Raj. Spread out over five hills (Kathlog, Potreys, Tehra, Bakrota & Balun) the town is named after the 19th century British Governor General Lord Dalhousie. The town's varying altitude shades it with a variety of vegetation that includes stately grooves of pines, deodars, oaks and flowering rhododendrons. Rich in colonial architecture, Dalhousie preserves some beautiful churches.
