Himachal's 12 Beautiful Districts
District Kullu
The most charming and beautiful Kulu valley spreads out its charm on
either side of river Beas. The valley runs north to south of this river and is
80kms. long and about 2kms. at its broadest. Yet with awe inspiring glens and
mossy meadows encircled by the rushing streams and meandering brooks, flung
east & west, a fairly wide area is open to the tourists, the trekkers, the
mountaineers, the artists and to anyone who wishes to escape the heat &
dust of the plains to breathe the exhilarating air of the Himalaya and enjoy
the spectacle of the variegated mountain scenery. The valley is also famous for
its exquisitely woven colourful hand made shawls and kullu caps.
