16 Best Valleys To Explore In Kullu That Will Blow Your Mind

Kullu valley is probably one of the most visited tourist places in Himachal and India has a whole. The general perception is that Kullu is just town with nothing much do and everyone just heads to Manali.

But the reality cannot be more different. Kullu is not just a town but an entire district which quite big to be honest. And such sub-valleys of Kullu is what makes it so beautiful and unique.

Therefore, I am presenting to you 16 best valleys to Explore in Kullu that you must explore. By the way here is list of 47 incredibly picturesque hidden places in Kullu I am sure you will like it.

1. Parvati valley – Explore The Most Famous Hippie Destination Of India

If there is sub valley of Kullu which is at par with Manali when it comes to popularity amongst, then it surely has to be the famous Paravti valley.

Although, the valley is quite picturesque, the perils of mass tourism have kind of ruined the valley, if you are looking for an escape from the crowd. Even the places which do not have road connectivity have become too popular for their own good.

But hey on the brighter side it is one of those places in Himachal which is well-developed to cater to your regular tourists. So, yes if you are new to Himachal, then Parvati valley is one of the best valleys to explore in Kullu.

By the way, Personally I think Kasol the main town of Parvati valley is quite overrated and I have 11 honest reasons explaining the same in blog. Do check it out and let me know your thoughts

2. Inner Seraj – The Pristine Valley Of Kullu That Will Leave You Gobsmacked

Inner Seraj in Kullu district is one of my personal favourites in Himachal and also the part of a bigger Seraj or Saraj valley. So the whole Seraj region is divided into 3 valleys namely Inner Seraj(Kullu), Outer Seraj(Kullu) and Mandi Seraj (Mandi).

The valley of Inner Seraj completely falls in Kullu district and comprises of 3 main sub-valleys which are the beautiful and pristine valleys of Tirthan, Banjar, and Sainj.

Now all the 3 sub-valleys have gained fame for its picturesque landscapes, but then again only a few places have become popular amongst travelers and most of areas remain under explored, this is coming from a personal experience after spending a whole month in Sainj,

By the way a lot of places in Inner Seraj are perfect alternatives to Kasol . So here is a blog about the same.

1. Tirthan valley – Venture Into The Magical World Of Great Himalayan National Park

Tirthan valley is personally one of my favourite places. Although I would prefer to call it Inner Seraj since it is a part of the bigger Seraj region. But I’ll refer as Tirthan due to it being the prominent name on the tourism circles.

So this particular valley of Tirthan has risen among the ranks in the recent years to become one of the top travel destinations in Kullu. And this is obviously not a surprise due to pretty vistas, amazing culture and showing outsiders true beauty of Himachal.

But anyways the area is absolutely splendid with some insane vistas, and is heaven for serious who can venture into the mysterious areas of the Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP).

2. Banjar valley – Experience The Beauty Of Seraj Region

Banjar valley is again one of my personal favourites. I had spend a week here at an amazing homestay cum hostel and really enjoyed my time here.

If you want to truly understand the culture of Saraj valley then Banjar valley is the place to stay at. From pretty rustic traditional villages to insane meadows Banjar valley is really quite picturesque.

3. Sainj Valley – The Incredible Vistas Of Sainj That Stole My Heart And Will Steal Yours Too

Well, after spending a month in Sainj, I can safely say that Sainj is easily one of the best valleys to explore in Kullu district. My perception of Sainj was that is only a small valley with only Deori, Shangarh and Raila area along with remote villages of Gada Parli.

But oh boy ! I could not have been more wrong. Sainj is huge valley with lots of small villages perched across the valley most of them now connected with road except of remote villages of Gada parli like Shakti and Marur.

By the way, if you want to upper explore Sainj valley you should contact Rabbithouse homestay (+91 9805188083) and Aastha homestay (+91 8278795110).

4. Lug valley – The Mysterious Valley Of Kullu That Has Insane Vistas

Lug valley is one of the most mysterious valley’s of Kullu. In fact, only a few years back Inner villages of Lug valley has gotten road connectivity.

But trust me Lug valley has one of the most unique landscapes in Kullu valley. And once you enter the valley you can feel that you have been transported back in time with all the hidden villages.

The are a lots of ancient connects in form of mountain passes that connect Lug valley in Kullu to other districts of Himachal. The most famous one is the Bhubhu Jot which connects Lug valley in Kullu district to Chuhar valley in Mandi.

By the way here is a detailed on the current state of offbeat places in himachal like Lug valley . Do let me know your thoughts on this.

5. Gadsa valley – The Hidden Gem Of Kullu That Will Surprise You

Gadsa valley, again is another one of the valleys of Kullu where tourism is non-existent. But if you are looking to explore truly offbeat places with road connectivity then Gadsa valley is the place to be at.

Although Gadsa valley is famous for paragliding but thats about it. No further tourism related spots in the valley, but plenty of them have an incredible to be one.

6. Kharal valley – The Abode Of Bijli Mahadev

Kharal valley is probably one of the well-know and lesser explored at the same time. And I would say only one thing Bijli Mahadev.

Yes Bijli Mahadev is one of the topmost area’s in Kharal valley, but the rest of the valley is relatively unexplored. The several pretty rustic villages of Kullu in Kharal but those are not very popular.

Himachal is also called Dev Bhoomi and rightly so because every village in Kullu has a temple dedicated to local deities. And such temples with beautiful architecture is one of the 31 promising reasons why Himachal attracts solo travelers .

7. Maharaja valley – One Of The Least Explored Valleys In Kullu

Maharaja valley or area around Pah nala is one of the lesser known valleys of Kullu. But there some amazing places to visit here.

Also, accommodation is very limited, and this valley is not on tourism map yet, so without a local it will be difficult to explore the valley properly.

8. Upper Kullu (Ujji) – The Incredible Scenic Beauty Of Upper Kullu You Must Experience At Least Once In A Lifetime

Upper Kullu also known as Ujji in local language is one of the best valleys to explore in Kullu region. The Upper Kullu valley basically starts from Kullu town and goes to upto Rohtang La.

But within these lie several sub valleys of Upper valleys of Kullu which deserved to be explored. So here are all the sub-valleys that come under Upper Kullu valley.

And by the way if you want to explore Upper Kullu you should definitely leave everything to Yuthok Homestay (+91 7018369494). The host Rajeshwar thakur has deep knowledge about Upper Kullu and Kullu valley in general and will take you to some of the most insane places in Upper Kullu.

1. Fojal valley – The Pretty Valley Of Kullu With Beautiful Landscapes

Fojal valley is one of the least explored valleys in Upper Kullu. And is certainly one of the best valleys to explore in Kullu, Upper Kullu to be precise.

Please do not venture in this area alone as it is extremely remote and there several restrictions on outsiders due to folk beliefs of the locals. If at all you want to reach Fojal by hiking contact Yuthok Homestay.

The incredible hiking trails like in Fojal is one of the 13 significant reasons why Himachal attracts a lot of solo travelers across the globe.

2. Kalichang Valley – The Rustic Villages and Insane Vistas Of Kalichang Will Mesmerize You

The lesser known Kalichang valley is one of the least explored places in Upper Kullu valley. The Kalichang valley gets its name from the mountains of Kalichang which starts from the less frequented Kadingcha Pass.

If you want to hike in Kalichang valley, there are ample of pristine trails which you can choose as per your fitness. So if you want to escape the crowd and witness the true beauty of Upper Kullu you should certainly pay a visit to this prisitne valley

3. Hallan 2 – Visit This Pristine Valley For Insane Autumn Vistas

Hallan 2 valley is one of the least explored places in Kullu. When I visited this pristine valley I did not know what to expect. But I was just awestruck by the beauty of this valley once I reached.

Autumn was at its peak, when I made a visit to this beautiful valley and witnessing those insane colors just blew my mind. So would really recommend visiting in Autumn.

But once again, there is no place to stay here and the villagers are reluctant to allow outsiders due to folk beliefs of the locals in Upper Kullu. So I would suggest that you visit the place with the Local of Upper Kullu.

4. Area around Naggar (Left bank of Beas) – One Of The Best Valleys To Explore The True Beauty of Kullu

Well if there is one area or valley which is hidden in the plain site despite now being quite accessible, it has to be the left bank of Beas which is the area around Naggar which used to be ancient capital of Kullu valley.

Of course, most of the area is still not on the tourist map, but slowly and steadily it is becoming popular with Naggar itself becoming one of the prime tourist hotspots.

5. Area around Manali – The Most Popular Area Of Himachal That Is Everyone’s Favourite

While the area around Manali is one of the most popular one in Himachal, but it is nevertheless quite beautiful. In my opinion, there is much more to Manali, then just Hidimba Temple, Mall road and old Manali, Jogini falls etc.

If you want to go on day hikes, then you can probably give the lesser-known Lamadugh and Moridugh a try. Of course you also the famous Jogini falls. So there is lots to in terms of both famous and lesser explored places.

And Manali is the most developed town in Himachal when it comes to tourism infrastructure.

6. Hamta valley – The Famous Valley Of Upper Kullu Will Mesmerize With Its Pretty Landscapes

Hamta valley is probably one of the most famous valleys when it comes to Upper Kullu. The valley is not that big and there are no ancient villages unlike other parts of Upper Kullu and Kullu valley in general.

Due to its dramatic rise a famous tourist hotspot, a lot of stay options have come around Sethan and Hamta valley in General. So accommodation will not be a problem

7. Solang valley – One Of The Most Famous Valleys Of Upper Kullu

Solang valley or Solang Nalah is probably one of the most famous tourist hotspots in Upper Kullu valley. A lot of tourists coming to Manali throng Solang valley every year in huge numbers.

In winters a lot of people visit here to enjoy white vistas Solang has to offer. Plus you can do tons of adventure activities in Solang valley which is one of the biggest attractions in Solang.

So yes Solang valley is one best places to explore in Kullu but only when you have no problem with loads of other travelers. If you want to somewhat escape the crowd, then you should go on the trail to Beas Kund.

There are a lot of places to stay in Solang. But let me warn you, they will be expensive when compared to Manali. So if you are budget traveler you are better off staying Manali than Solang.

The road to Solang diverts at Palchan on the famous Manali-Rohtang road. Also the road to famous Atal tunnel also passes through Dhundi in Solang Valley.

9. Outer Seraj – Explore One Of The Least Explored Valleys Of Kullu

Outer Seraj is probably one of the least explored valleys in Kullu, which is actually quite far from the main town of Kullu. The area of Jalori to Nirmand including places like Anni, Khanag, Nirmand, Baga Sarahan etc come under Outer Seraj,

So there are two mountain passes that separate Inner Seraj from Outer Seraj when is the famous Jalori Jot and the other one is the lesser-known Bashleo Jot near Batahad village in Tirthan valley.

From Jalori Jot, you can crossover to Anni in Outer Seraj and then finally venture into Shimla district or the tribal district of Kinnaur via Rampur Bushahr.

Personally, I am very keen to explore this area. But again lack of tourism infrastructure makes it quite difficult to explore regions like Outer Seraj.

To conclude, I hope that you now have a fair idea on the best valleys to explore in Kullu. Trust me you’ll fell in love the pretty villages, pristine rivers, enchanting forests, of these valleys of Kullu.

An Insight into Kullu Manali Tourism

Both Kullu and Manali, top tourist destinations of Himachal Pradesh, seem to outdo the other in their scenic magnificence and opportunities for sightseeing & adventure. Kullu, the town believed to be apt for the gods, pleasantly surprises the visitor with the diversity it offers. In Manali, what you see is what you get, raw beauty with serenity, the likes of which you may have only dreamt about.

There are many things to see in Kullu, like the Great Himalayan National Park. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site which houses a rich variety of wildlife. Several of these are classified as endangered, including Himalayan Brown Bear, Blue Sheep and Snow Leopard. Spotting of Monal and Western Tragopan is not uncommon. Trekking and outdoor camping are also pursued enthusiastically in the park.

Manikaran is another place to see in Kullu which is most famous for its gurudwara. Here, the hot sulphur springs are believed to contain therapeutic properties. Kasol, fondly referred to as mini-Israel for attracting Israelis in large numbers, allures more than its fair share of honeymooners, while the village of Malana has that ancient look to it. Banjar, located almost 2 hours away from Kullu, affords a lot of opportunities in angling, thanks to River Tirthan and its pure as crystal waters. At about the same distance lies Shoja, a valley wrapped in contemplative silence and undisturbed beauty, and truly meditator’s paradise. Another place which you should visit during your trip to Kullu is Jalori Pass. From here, you can take a day hike to Serolsar Lake.

Adventure enthusiasts also find a lot to celebrate in Kullu. Battling the rapids while white water rafting on River Beas is fun, as is camping in Raison, surrounded by peach, plum and apple orchards. Hike towards the Bijli Mahadev Temple though, where lovely views of the Kullu Valley await you. Inside the temple is a Shiva Linga, which, besides being pillar shaped, is held together with butter. Every year, fiery bolts of lightning destroy this pillar, until it is rebuilt by the priests with butter.

Manali is another top tourist destination in Himachal Pradesh, popular both among honeymooners and vacationers. This quaint town shows you how to have a good time. It is hugged by the valley, which itself is covered with pine forests, streams and perpetually snow-covered peaks. There are as many opportunities for adventure as sightseeing, besides a third one, which is enjoying the lovely landscape and doing nothing.

The greatest tourist attraction though, is Rohtang Pass. About 51 km from Manali, it is the gateway to Lahaul and Spiti, and offers a chance to enjoy activities like paragliding , skiing and trekking. Along the way, you are treated to views of waterfalls, pastures and streams. The tired eyes and the fatigued mind rejoice at such beautiful sights.

However, it should be remembered that you will have to obtain a special permit for visiting Rohtang Pass. During the winters, it wears a white coat, with fir trees acting as its embroidery. During the summers, it discards it, and replaces it with an easily flowing green garment. That’s Solang Valley for you, located about 13 km from Manali and a magnificent place to see in Himachal Pradesh. A variety of adventure activities can be enjoyed, from zorbing to a ropeway ride. Come winters, and skiing is all the rage, with state and national level ski championships being held regularly.
