Manali Kullu & Naggar Tour

Overview

Naggar was the capital of the Kullu Kingdom for over 1,400 years and today remains a tranquil, culturally rich alternative to the busy streets of Manali. Sitting at an altitude of 1,850 meters (6,070 ft), it is famous for its unique architecture, Russian art history, and panoramic views of the Beas Valley.


Top Attractions

  • Paragliding Point: Located about 20 km before Manali on the Kullu-Manali highway, it is widely considered the best paragliding site in the region for those seeking a longer, more scenic flight.
  • River Rafting Point: Babeli remains the primary hub for river rafting in the Kullu Valley. It is preferred by many over the Pirdi stretch because it offers a perfect balance of scenic beauty, making it ideal for both beginners and families.
  • Naggar Castle: The Castle is a prime example of Kathkuni architecture—a traditional technique where alternating layers of stone and massive wooden logs are interlocked without using any nails.


Best Time to Visit

  • Summer (March to June): Ideal for sightseeing and adventure sports with pleasant temperatures between 10°C and 25°C.
  • Winter (October to February): Best for witnessing snowfall and engaging in winter sports like skiing; temperatures can drop below -5°C.

Tour Itinerary

Manali to Paragliding Point

Dobhi is widely considered the best paragliding site in the Kullu Valley. While Solang Valley is more famous, Dobhi offers a significantly higher launch point, longer flight times, and a more peaceful experience away from the massive crowds.

Paragliding Point To River Rafting Point

Babeli is the premier river rafting hub in the Kullu Valley, located right on the banks of the Beas River. While many tourists head to Pirdi, Babeli is favored for its convenient location on the National Highway (NH3) and its scenic, manageable rapids.

River Rafting Point To Kullu Shawls Factory

The Kullu shawls industries produces export quality handicraft like Hand woven shawls and other handicrafts v/s wall gangings, Kullu cap, mufflers and jackets etc.

Kullu Shawls Factory to Vaishno Devi Temple

A small cave and shrine with an image of Goddess Vaishno and other temple are dedicated to Lord Shiva, Rama and Krishna.

Vaishno Devi Temple To Naggar Castle

Naggar Castle is a stunning 15th-century masterpiece that served as the seat of the Kullu Kingdom for over 1,400 years. Built by Raja Sidh Singh around 1460 AD, it is most famous for its Kathkooni architecture—a traditional Himalayan style where stone and wood are interlocked without using a single iron nail, making the structure incredibly earthquake-resistant.

Naggar Castle To Roerich Art Gallery

The Nicholas Roerich Art Gallery, located in the tranquil village of Naggar, is a spiritual and cultural sanctuary dedicated to the legendary Russian painter, philosopher, and explorer Nicholas Roerich. It was his home from 1928 until his death in 1947 and is now managed by the International Roerich Memorial Trust.
