Just like Manali, Kullu too is a land of temples. Only 4 kilometers from Dhalpur, you will come to a small cave in which an idol of Goddess Vaishno Devi is preserved. A drive of 45 kilometers from Kullu will take you to Manikaran. Manikaran is well known for its hot springs. The water here is hot enough to cook rice, vegetables and lentils in it. And yet thousands of people take a holy dip in these hot waters. This place is a celebrated pilgrimage spot for Hindus and Sikhs alike. A Gurudwara is sited here aside from Ramchandra and Shivaji temples. You will be informed of a myth here about Lord Shiva and his celestial bride, Parvati, who lost her ear ring at this place. This caused the water on the banks of Parvati River to turn blistering hot. The priests at the temple will narrate an exciting tale to you.

A drive 10 kilometers across the Beas River from Kullu will bring you to Bijli Mahadev temple. If you have the inclination and fortitude to conquer a mountain, you will arrive at an exquisite temple with a 60 feet high staff. There is a belief that the staff draws the blessings of God via this staff in the form of lightening. On the main road, 15 kilometers south of Kullu in Bajaura, the famous temple of Baheshwar Mahadev has fine stone carvings and sculptures.

Kullu is well known for several fishing spots in the vicinity. Banjar, which is 58 kilometers south of Kullu is a great place for trout fishing in the river Tirthan. There’s a charming little village called Larji where trout can be caught. This is 34 kilometers from Kullu. The sight of the rivers Sainj and Tirthan conjoining before it meets with the Beas is quite lovely. Kasol is situated on the banks of the Parvati River. The sand here is amazingly white.

Naggar was the capital of Kullu for almost 1400 years. The scenic beauty here is beyond compare. A great many temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu, Lord Krishna, Sundari and Tripura are found here. There is a quaint old fort which has been built around a courtyard with verandahs facing stupendous views over the valley. Inside the courtyard there is a small temple containing a slab of stone with an intriguing legend about how it was carried there by wild bees.

On the hill above the castle is the Roerich Gallery. This is a fine old house with exhibits of the artwork of both Professor Nicholas Roerich and his son.
