was once known as Kulanthapitha end of the habitable world. Beyond rose the
forbidding heights of the Greater Himalayas and by the banks of the shining
river Beas, lay the fabled Silver valley.
Kullu got its first motorable access only after independence. The long centuries
of seclusion have however allowed the area to retain a considerable measures
of its traditional charm. Here is the core of an intricate web of numerous valleys
each of which is a visual delight and seems more than the other.
The
silver valley has nature treasures that lie carelessly scattered as flowers
on the high meadows. This wealth nestles by every tree in the splendid forests,
it bursts forth in the blooms and in fruit of every orchard. Here are riches
which can not be measured and echo down the ages with the words of every myth
and pleasure in every step you take in these enchanted valleys and is every
gurgle you here in the clear mountain streams.
