Situated on the back road between Kullu and Manali, the slumbering village of Naggar was the capital ofthe Kullu Rajas for about 1,400 years. Its strategic location on a wooded slope, makes it an excellent view point, especially of the valley’s
northwest. A fort constructed by the Sikh rajas of Kullu in 1460 is a centre of attraction. The fort has now been converted into Hotel Castle, and is managed by the Himachal Tourism department. There are a large number of famous temples in and around Naggar. The Russian artist Nicholas Roerich’s art gallery is worth a visit
