The Valley of Gods. Kullu is the administrative and cultural center of the Beas valley, famous for its Dussehra festival and intricate hand-woven shawls.
To reach Kullu without the tourist fatigue, take the early morning local HRTC bus or a shared taxi. Avoid the main square hubs and head to the outskirts where the traditional architecture still breathes.
"Locals avoid the overpriced cafes in the town center and instead shop at the local mandis (markets) on Tuesdays for the freshest produce and authentic woolens."
