Kullu's Unmissable Treasures

Kullu’s landscape features a mix of 15th-century Kathkuni architecture at Naggar Castle and ancient spiritual sites like the Bijli Mahadev Temple, known for its lightning-prone staff. The region is defined by its vertical water features, including the tiered Jogini Falls and the secluded Jana Falls. Historical remnants include the high-altitude ruins of Raghupur Fort near Jalori Pass, while the South Portal of the Atal Tunnel marks a significant engineering link between the Beas and Lahaul valleys.
