Khajjiar

Often described as India’s Mini Switzerland, Khajjiar is a rare combination of three ecosystems: lake, pasture, and forest. A small lake sits in the center of the meadow, with a floating island adding to its mystique. The area is enveloped by cedar forests and overlooked by the towering Dhauladhar mountains. The 12th-century Khajinag Temple, with its intricate wood carvings, remains a major cultural landmark. This high-altitude meadow offers numerous activities like zorbing and horse riding. Its serene environment makes it one of the most photographed locations in Himachal Pradesh, attracting thousands of nature enthusiasts yearly.

Chamera Lake

Formed by the impounding of the Ravi River waters, Chamera Lake is a significant hydroelectric project and a major tourist attraction.
