Kullu also known as the Valley of Gods is situated on the banks of River Beas at an altitude of 1280 meters. It is a broad valley lying between Manali and Largi is famous for its scenic beauty of deodar trees, apple orchards and beautiful natural spreads. Kullu was reffered by many names like ‘Kulanpitha’ which means ‘the end of habitable world’ ‘Kalut’ ‘Silver Valley’ and many more. Although there are several stories revolving around the existence of Kullu during the times of Ramayana and Mahabharata, yet the factual trace can be linked to 1st Century A.D. when a native from Tripura, Behangami Pal, found a settlement in this place. The best time to visit Kullu for sightseeing is during the months of March to June, when the weather is pleasant and it is not snowing, however, if tourists are planning to visit for sport activities like mount climbing, skiing, etc., then months from December to February are more suitable given the snowfall.
