Kharahal is one of the valleys in Kullu District of Himachal Pradesh, India. It is situated on the left bank of the Bias River. Kharahal is famous for two temples: Bijli Mahadev and Ma Durga.

Kharahal Valley was hit by a cloudburst on 13 September 2010, and property worth millions of dollars was destroyed.[1]

The main source of income for residents is agriculture, specifically harvesting apples in orchards. The main villages in the valley are Puid, Gharakar, Jaipur, Kinja, and Chansari.
