Khajjiar Travel Guide – Mini Switzerland of India | Best Time, Attractions & Budget Tips

 ✨ Introduction of khajjiar 

Socho ek khula hara-bhara maidan, beech me ek sundar lake, aur charo taraf tall deodar ke jungle – yahi hai Khajjiar, Himachal Pradesh ka ek aisa hill station jise log Mini Switzerland of India kehte hain. Yahan ka natural beauty, shaanti aur adventure sab kuch milega — ek perfect destination nature lovers aur solo travelers ke liye.

🇨🇭 Khajjiar ko Mini Switzerland kyu kaha jata hai?

1992 me Swiss diplomat Mr. Willy P. Blazer ne jab Khajjiar ka visit kiya, to unhone bola ki yeh jagah unke Switzerland jaise hi dikhti hai.
Unhone:

• Khajjiar me ek signboard install kiya jisme Berne (Switzerland ki capital) ka distance likha hai
• Aur ek mitti ka tukda Khajjiar se Switzerland le gaye symbolic connection ke liye

Yeh declaration ke baad Khajjiar officially ban gaya "Mini Switzerland of India".
