Khajjiar is among the 160 locations in the world that bears topographical resemblance to Switzerland. In 1992, Mr. Willy T. Blazer, Vice Counselor and head of Chancery of Switzerland in India, brought Khajjiar on the world tourism map by christening it "Mini Switzerland".The counselor also took from Khajjiar a stone, which will form part of a stone collage around the Swiss Parliament to remind the visitors of Khajjiar as Mini Switzerland of India. Khajjiar is embedded beneath a dense pine forest, surrounded by high mountains and fringed by gigantic deodars. Along its fringes, amidst the thick forests above the woods and in the center of the glade, is a small lake fed by streams that traverse the green carpet. |
