Hotel Profile
Away from the humdrum of the cities, Hotel Swiss meadows is nestled amidst the beautiful surroundings of Khajjiar, Mini Switzerland of India. Warm hospitality along with the panoramic view of the surrounding landscape revives the potentials of its guests.
Going from Dalhousie to Khajjiar is a soothing experience as you drive through the beautiful Bakrota Hills.

You can easily notice the deep quietness in the environment which adds to the beautiful experience of the entire journey to Khajjiar.
Khajjiar is often reffered to as “Gulmarg of Himachal Pradesh” and “Switzerland Of India”. The lush green meadows are surrounded by thick pine and cedar forests. Grazing herds of sheep, goats and cattle present a prefect pastoral scenery. There is a small lake in the center of the saucer shaped meadow which has in it a floating island.
