Kullu, nestled gracefully along the banks of the Beas River and surrounded by towering deodar pine forests and snow-draped Himalayan ranges in Himachal Pradesh, is celebrated across India as the 'Valley of the Gods' (Devbhumi). Famous worldwide for its week-long international Kullu Dussehra festival, white-water river rafting stretches, world-class handloom Kullu shawls, and ancient pagoda-style timber temples, Kullu is the gateway to both Manali and the Parvati Valley.
