Kullu Manikaran Tour Package 4 Days

Trip Overview

The Kullu Valley and Parvati Valley together form one of Himachal Pradesh's most diverse and rewarding destinations — where Hindu and Sikh pilgrimage sites, natural hot springs, Himalayan treks and vibrant backpacker culture coexist in a compact, accessible stretch of the Beas and Parvati rivers. Manikaran, 45 km from Kullu at 1760 m, is among the most extraordinary places in Himachal Pradesh. The Sikh Gurdwara Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is famous for its geothermal hot springs — so hot that rice and dal are cooked in them as prasad distributed to thousands of pilgrims daily. Adjacent Hindu temples dedicated to Shiva, Rama and Vishnu dot the riverfront. The natural spring water, believed to cure skin diseases, draws both pilgrims and tourists in equal numbers. The setting — gorge walls rising sharply, the Parvati River roaring below, the smell of sulphur mingling with incense — is unforgettable. Bijli Mahadev Temple, perched at 2,460 m on a hilltop above Kullu with a commanding 360-degree view of the entire valley, is one of the most dramatic Shiva temples in Himachal. The temple's Shivalinga is famous for being struck by lightning every year — shattered, then reassembled with gram flour and butter by the priest as a symbol of divine acceptance. The 2-km trek to the temple through oak and rhododendron forests is rewarding. Kasol, 35 km from Bhuntar, has become one of North India's most visited backpacker destinations — famous for its Israeli and European traveller community, trout-filled Parvati River, good cafes and as the trailhead for treks to Kheerganga and Sar Pass. NorthYatra's Kullu Manikaran Package combines the spiritual, the natural and the contemporary into a perfect 4-day Himachal itinerary.
