The Adventure Epicenter of the Beas Valley
While Manali is famous for leisurely stays, neighboring Kullu Valley is the operational powerhouse for river rafting and high-flying paragliding. Every vehicle transiting between Shimla and Manali passes through Kullu, making it the perfect day activity stop.
