  • Khajjiar lake

    Khajjiar lake lies 32°26¢ north and 76° 32¢east about 6300 feet above sea level between Chamba and Dalhousie. Its area is approximately 5000 sq. yards but is constantly under threat from weeds. The average depth of the lake is sitated to be thirteen feet as per District Gazetteer. For the local people this lake holds sacredness and they beleive that it is unfathomable. TheKhajjiar lake takes its name from Khajji Nag, the deity in the temple nearby. It is set in huge grassy glade with surroundings of evergreen cedars. The whole ensemble makes one think of a piece of sapphire set in the background of gold and emerald.
    Khajjiar Lake : Khajjiar lake is in Chamba district. 16 kms from Dalhousie and 25 kms from Chamba. Fed by slim streams, this small lake rests in the centre of the large glade of Khajjiar. The glade and the lake are held sacred to Khajjinag - after whom the place is named. Khajjiar has the thick forest of the Kalatope sanctuary surrounding its soft green grass.
