10 Free Things to do in Kullu That You Shouldn't Miss
Set in a valley whose original name meant "end of the habitable world," this resort town in the lower Himalayas blossoms in summer and during its famous Dussehra festival in October. Don't miss the Raghunath Temple, built in 1660 in honor of the valley's patron deity, Lord Ram. Less than two miles away, a 90-minute climb to the Jagannathi Devi Temple provides a panoramic view of the alpine area. The town is also known for its locally woven wool shawls, blankets and slippers.

The "New Normal" and a "New World" we are living in, but somethings just don't go away, for a person like me, its "travelling and exploring" . Since this pandemic started, people like me have been locked inside and working from home, the routine has just been, work, bed, back to work. I really wanted to break those shackles and wanted to have a break, a vacation, but not a "Sightseer" kind, rather a place I can have peace and really, "Do Nothing". As most of us do, research before you travel, and in these times, you really should do a thorough one. I won't go into the details but I found this property to be almost ticking every box. Due to loads of checking, a landslide causing a de-tour, took me 17 hours from Delhi, and reached at 10 PM. The owner, Mr. Panki Sood, was well connected with me on phone since the booking was done, which did help in getting more information, over and above a thought , someone is waiting for you Once reached, was happy to see that they are serious of following health norms, my stuff sanitized, temp check done, shoes to be taken off outside, and get my Covid test negative certificate. Also, for the first 3 days, good social distancing was maintained which does give a confidence, that they are serious in keeping themselves and the visiting guests safe. Spent few days just inside the property and loved the food, the views, the sound of the river which is practically touching the property. They have a dedicated kitchen which prepares homely food and hey, they take special requests, so if you want some good fish, non-veg dish or any local delicacy, just ask for it They also have a bonfire place and a good seating arrangement at different places where one can read a book or just relax. They also have a stream of fresh water, which I just loved. Having lived few days in trekking and tenting on remote hills, i know that these natural water stream have the best thing you can give to your body, purest form of water. Mr. Panki runs a school which is located just next to the property and in these difficult times, he is giving it back to the society by ensuring that local kids get what they need in that age, he also arrange volunteer session and virtual session for online studies. I really want to thank him for giving me an opportunity to talk to those kids and conduct a session through which I shared some of my own life experiences and take some lessons from the kids too To just close with the essence, this property gives you peace of mind over and above everything else you would like to be in your travel plans, along with those minutest details which brings a smile and make you thing, right choice made.

Beautiful place to visit. Recommended on bike, if you like to drive, thrilling roads. Pine and deodars are feast for eyes. In November the colours of fall look beautiful through the entire ride from banjar to jalori.

Best place to experience snow in Manali .Less crowded place as the entry is limited . From Manali the travel time is about 1 hr through a number of hairpin bends and narrow road. Within few kms of travel snow was visible on the road sides . We started our trip around 9.30 from club Mahindra snow peak resort and the entry point ,where entry passes gets issued, was few meters away from resort . As suggested by the travel team we opted for a 4 wheel drive vehicle for the trip. Roads are narrow and in bad condition and have many hairpin bends through out the journey . For in experienced drivers this journey will be a challenging one . Hamta pass is a must visit place and better than Solang valley . Less crowded place and one can explore the snow covered valleys all around . The snow was bout 1-2 ft thick when we visited and was fresh . Better to get the snow suits from Manali as there are very limited shops and restaurants on the way. No restroom facilities we could locate at the Hamta pass area .Food items like Maggi , bread toast , coffe/tea is available in the small shops in the last point . Even you can hire walking sticks( branches of near by woods ) for climbing the snow covered hills . Snow got accumulated in between rocks can be about 2-3 ft or more in depth and one needs to be very careful while walking through those areas . The day was sunny and while returning we saw many vehicles , without 4x4 struggling to drive through melting snow and slippery ice on the roads . Better to visit this place in the morning half ,as there is chance of traffic jams due to parking on road side and narrow roads.
