The advantage of goverment properties in India is that they have the best locations - same goes with Devdar. Of all the hotels in the Khajjiar, this one has the best view of the valley. We visited Khajjiar in 2006 Nov - hence got a hefty off-season discount also - just 900 INR (20$) per night for the superior room.... More

We stayed at The Devdar, which is run by HPTDC, for 2 nights. The location is superb, on the main road itself, facing a breathtaking expanse of green with the Khajjiar Lake in the middle. In the distance is a range of hills covered with thick forests of devdar trees -- just a fantastic view. There is a range of... More

Save your money and don't bother staying here. Dark interior. Depressing restaurant with a limited menu. Smelly communal toilets. And lets face it Khajjiar is just good for the day you don't need to stay overnight here. More

The Devdar is a beautiful old hotel with wood panelled rooms overlooking the lush green Khajjiar meadow. Not surprisingly as with most government owned properties, this HPTDC hotel has the best location in Khajjiar with the best views. Our room was very spacious with a cosy feel due to the deodhar [cedar] panelling. Devdar means cedar and this is the... More

If you are planning a trip to Khajjiar, make it a point to plan a stay at the Khajji Cottage. Not without reason, Khajjiar is called a mini switzerland. The Khajji cottage at the far end of the meadows makes for a peaceful and quiet getaway. The rooms are spacious. The hotel provides for a caretaker specifically for the cottage... More
