'''Khajjiar Lake''' is situated in [[Khajjiar]], in Chamba district of [[Himachal Pradesh]], India. It is situated at a height of around 1,951 m above sea level between [[Dalhousie, India|Dalhousie]] and [[Chamba, Himachal Pradesh|Chamba]] Town. The lake is set in a huge grassy landscape, with evergreen [[Cedrus|cedar]] trees surrounding it from all sides. The lake takes its name from Khajji Nag, the deity in the temple nearby. The lake has considerably shrunk over the years and is now almost on the verge of vanishing.<br />
