Kullu
Kullu has an identity of its own within the Beas valley, shaped by local religious traditions and a landscape of settlements below rising hills. It deserves more than a passing reference on the road to Manali. A short stay can connect a central temple visit with a deliberately planned hillside excursion.
Discover Kullu
Raghunath Temple, within the palace complex, provides an introduction to the deity's importance in the valley. Bijli Mahadev offers a contrasting experience because its approach involves an uphill walk and a broader valley setting. These are different kinds of visits, so avoid giving them identical time or accessibility expectations. Travellers who prefer limited walking can keep the focus on Kullu's settlement and religious life.
Places to explore
Raghunath Temple
The temple in Kullu's palace complex is associated with the valley's presiding deity and offers a central cultural anchor.
Bijli Mahadev Temple
An uphill temple excursion combines a place of worship with views across the Kullu valley when conditions allow.
