Correct Answer - Option 1 : Khajjar

The correct answer is Kharjiar.

  • A small picturesque saucer-shaped plateau surrounded by dense pine and deodar forests, is one of the 160 places throughout the world to have been designated “Mini Switzerland”.
  • Now this is Khajjiar, a tiny tourist resort in Chamba about 24 kms from Dalhousie.
  • It is situated at an altitude of 6,500 ft. above sea level.
  • The moment one enters the picturesque Khajjiar, one is welcomed by a yellow Swiss sign for ‘hiking path’ which reads “Mini Switzerland”.
  • Khajjiar was officially baptized by the Swiss Ambassador on July 7, 1992.
  • A stone was taken here and forms part of the stone sculpture erected in Berne, capital of Switzerland.
  • That is why Khajjar is known as the Mini Switzerland of India.
