Khajjiar is a small and beautiful town situated away from the noise and commotion of the city. It is amongst the 160 places around the world that bear topographical resemblance to Switzerland. In addition, the Khajjiar weather is cool and even chilly in winters, like Switzerland. In fact, after being awe-struck, the Prime Minister of Switzerland took home with him a piece of rock from Khajjiar, for it to be used in the construction of the government's House in Switzerland. He was the one who coined the nickname Mini Swiss of India for Khajjiar.
