'''Kullu''' is a [[district]] in [[Himachal Pradesh]], [[India]]. The district lies in central Himachal and is famous for its tourist stations and Himalayan Treks connecting the trails with far remote regions between the adjacent districts of Lahaul and Spiti, Kinnaur , Mandi and Kangra districts which are bordered at North - North East , East , West and South Of Kullu respectively. The District is also a home to some of the Ancient settlements, Traditional Handloom and Apple Cultivation. It stretches from the Town of [[Rampur, Himachal Pradesh|Rampur]] in the south to the [[Rohtang Pass]] in the North. The Main Kullu Valley which falls between the Pir Panjal Himalayas and Northern Edge Of The Dhauladhar or Bhangal Region lies at an elevation ranging from as less as 833 M to 3330 M from Aut Tunnel North Portal ( Some areas meshed in Mandi District Administrative Limits ) to [[Atal Tunnel]] South Portal On NH 3 and NH 505.
[[File:Fields & Beas River I2 IMG 3174.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Fields & Beas River in [[Kullu]] District of [[Himachal Pradesh]], [[India]].]]
The largest [[valley]] in the district is called the [[Kullu Valley]], which is also known as the Valley of the Gods. There is also a town called [[Kullu]] which sits on the banks of the [[Beas River]] in the central part of the valley. From the confluence of the Parvati River with the River Beas, the [[Parvati Valley]] runs eastwards, through a steep-sided valley from the town of [[Bhuntar]]. Another important valley in the district is the [[Lug valley]] where the main forest contractors have been extracting timber from the forests for the last 150 years and continue to do so today.<ref name="mountaintech">{{cite web|url=http://mountaintechnology.tripod.com/ropeway/history.html |title=History of Ropeways in Kullu |access-date=2006-12-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030523144002/http://mountaintechnology.tripod.com/ropeway/history.html |archive-date=23 May 2003 }}</ref> Farther north lies the town of [[Manali, Himachal Pradesh|Manali]].

The ancient seat of the kings of Kullu was at [[Naggar Castle]], about 12 km north of the present town, and thought to have been built in the early 17th century by Raja Sidh Sing. [[Raja Jagat Singh]] (1637–72) moved the capital in the middle of the 17th century to its present position, and called it Sultanpur. The Royal compound consists of the "Rupi Palace, several temples, and a long narrow bazaar descending the hill."

The British took all of [[Kangra, Himachal Pradesh|Kangra]] and Kullu from the [[Sikhs]] in 1846. It is still used as home by the royal descendants, but the more ancient Naggar Castle was sold to the British.

Since the onset of the most recent unrest in [[Kashmir]], Manali and the Kullu Valley in general, have become important destinations for tourists escaping the summer heat of India.

In the eastern part of the district, the village of [[Manikaran]] contains [[Sikh]] and [[Hindu]] temples and popular hot springs. The [[Hidimba Devi Temple]] is at [[Manali, Himachal Pradesh|Manali]]. There are also many [[Sikh]] villages located close to [[Manikaran]]. To the northeast of Kullu Valley, lies the famous, Malana Valley.
