District Guide
Kullu town sits at 1,200m, Manali further up-valley at 2,050m, about 270km from Chandigarh (9–10 hours) or 570km from Delhi. It's the valley most first-time visitors picture when they say "Himachal," and it earns that reputation: the Beas river running the length of it, Rohtang Pass at the head of the valley (open roughly May–October, snow-dependent), and enough adventure sport to fill a week on its own.
Rohtang Pass & Solang Valley
3,978m, the traditional gateway to Lahaul–Spiti and Ladakh. Solang below it runs paragliding, zorbing, and snow activities depending on season.
Old Manali & Hadimba Temple
Café-lined lanes above the main bazaar, and a 16th-century wooden temple set in a cedar forest: Manali's two most-photographed corners.
Bir Billing & the Beas
Bir Billing is one of the world's best paragliding sites; the Beas below Kullu town runs grade II–III white-water rafting, April through June.
Kullu Dussehra
A UNESCO-recognised intangible-heritage festival every October, with village deities processed through Kullu town over seven days. Worth timing a trip around.
