Khajjiar

You can actually walk to Khajjiar from Kalatop if you like to trek. It takes about three days but the walk through the white coated wilderness is worth the effort. Khajjiar is truly breathtaking with a kind of severe beauty that is still riveting. You?ll find a large snow-covered plain here and the locals offer you many activities like horse-riding, games and photography. In fact during season, the atmosphere is like a bustling village fair. The snow here falls thick enough for snow fights, building snowmen or simply to experience snow if you never have before. Charming little bridges over frozen streams make this area seem like a little dream land you can touch and feel. Another cute thing to do here is dress up in the local attire and get your picture taken. You'll find the people who do this are helpful, warm and will dress you up, no matter what size you wear and make you pose too. They actually do mail you the photographs even though it does reach three months later because of the weather. Be warned. Khajjiar is no summery paradise. The weather is cold, cold, cold! But the scenery and snow seem to make it worthwhile. For a few days at least.
