Dalhousie & Khajjiar

Dalhousie and Khajjiar make a lovely pairing for a mountain escape: one has quiet colonial-era streets and pine-scented hillsides, the other opens into a broad meadow ringed by cedar forest. Dalhousie is spread across several hills, with old churches, leafy walking paths and far-reaching views of the Dhauladhar range.
A short drive away, Khajjiar feels wonderfully open. Its grassy meadow and small lake sit among tall deodar trees, with the Khajji Nag Temple adding a touch of history beside the water. The area is often nicknamed “Mini Switzerland,” but its charm is all its own. Nearby, Kalatop offers forest trails, while Dainkund Peak is a favourite for its expansive mountain views. Together, these places are ideal for slow walks, scenic drives and a few unhurried days in the hills.
