Good to know
Things to Do questions
What makes Kullu Dussehra different?
It begins on the very day Dussehra ends in the rest of India, runs for about a week in the Dhalpur maidan, and gathers hundreds of village deities carried in from across the valley to pay homage to Lord Raghunath. It is recognised as an international festival, visually extraordinary, but very crowded, so we book stays and access well ahead.
Is Kullu just a stop on the way to Manali?
It can be, but it rewards a proper stay. Kullu has its own temples, its famous weaving tradition, river activities, and access to the Great Himalayan National Park and the Parvati valley. Many of our guests base here for a quieter, more cultural experience than busier Manali.
Can I go river rafting at Kullu?
Yes, in season. The Beas near Kullu offers white-water rafting with experienced operators, which we book only when water levels and safety conditions allow. It is weather- and flow-dependent, and always at the operator's discretion.
