Best Time to Visit Kullu

Kullu, a hill resort in Himachal Pradesh, is fertile, extensive and photogenic. Nowhere is a fine spring- summer day lovelier than in the Kullu valley with the meadows full of exotic wild flowers and their unparalleled backdrop, the Himalayas. The extensive grassy ‘maidan’ of Kullu, the central promenade, stretching up to the precipitous cliff above the Beas serves as pasture-land and as the stage for colourful fairs held every year in spring and autumn. Kullu valley holds some of the most picturesque fairs and religious festivals in India, especially during Kullu Dussehra . The autumn fair, which marks the celebration of the Dussehra festival, is the most important gathering in the district. Except monsoon season, Kullu remains an easily accessible hill station.

In March, the apricot trees burst into pink blossom. On the higher slopes the giant rhododendrons with their crimson flowers give the appearance of trees decked out in gala with little red lanterns. Early in June the horse-chestnuts are in flower, millions of wild bees humming round them. By July masses of blue and purple iris are splashed over the hillside. Buttercups range in colour from the familiar golden yellow to pink red. Fruit farming has become a major industry in the Kullu Valley. Apples and pears of high quality are plentiful — as cheap as they are luscious — together with cherries, apricots, plums and peaches. In addition to natural beauty, Kullu is loved by the visitors for its cultural heritage, temples, hilly treks and adventure activities.
