Khajjiar, Mountain settlement in Chamba district, India
Located at 1920 meters elevation, Khajjiar features a saucer-shaped meadow with a central lake surrounded by dense pine and cedar forests.
The region gained recognition during British colonial rule as a summer retreat, with several rest houses constructed to accommodate government officials.
The Khajji Nag temple, built in pahari architectural style, houses a stone-carved statue of Nagdev, representing local serpent deity worship traditions.
The settlement connects to Dalhousie and Chamba via mountain roads, with Pathankot Airport at 120 kilometers serving as the nearest air transport hub.
Two floating islands exist within the Khajjiar lake, occasionally hidden by tall grass growth that changes their visibility throughout seasons.
