About this circuit

Leisurely morning — sleep in and enjoy a long breakfast on the river-facing terrace. Visit the Bijli Mahadev Temple (2,460m) — one of the most unique temples in India, reached by a 4 km hike through pine forest and meadows. The straw lingam inside is struck by lightning every few years and shatters — the priest then reconstructs it with butter, and it solidifies into stone. The views from the temple ridge encompass the entire Kullu, Parvati, and Garsa valleys — perhaps the finest viewpoint in the region. Pick up Kullu topis (traditional Kullu caps), apple jam, and wild honey from the local market. Transfer for departure. This Kullu Valentine combines river adventure, ancient culture, pristine nature, and the gentle beauty of India's most beloved valley.
