Kothi
12 km. A quiet but picturesque spot. The Rest House overlooks the
narrow valley and commands views of the mountains. Below Kothi, for
more than a kilometre the river Beas flows through a deep gorge, almost
a subterranean passage, 30 metres or more in depth, and the cliffs
which flank both sides of the canyon are a favourite haunt for rock
pigeons. The site of the bridge provides an interesting historical
episode in the early annals of Kullu.

Solang Valley
13 km. A splendid valley between Manali and
Kothi which offers views of the glaciers and snow-capped mountain
peaks. The plateau is frequently used for holding camps by the trekking
parties. Good skiing slopes of the Mountaineering Institute. Venue of
annual winter carnival from February 10-14. Bus service upto Palchan
village (10 km) and then by jeep or on foot. |

Rahla Falls
2 km from Kothi. Here the river Beas hurtles down from a height of about 50 metres. Charming spot for picnics.
Manali Sanctuary
A bridle path from the Manali log huts goes past the Dhoongri Temple
and wanders into the dense deodar, kail, horse chestnut, walnut and
maple forest which is a part of this sanctuary. Camping overnight in
tents at Lambadug or Galiani Thatch is possible.
Lush green alpine pastures and glaciers lie beyond Galiani Thatch. Musk
deer, monal and brown bear are often spotted. For those who venture
still further into the glacier zone in summer, there are herds of ibex.

Raghunathji Temple:
In the 17th century, Raja Jagat Singh of Kulu committed a great wrong.
To atone for the sin he sent a senior courtier to Ayodhya for a statue
of Lord Raghunath - Lord Ram. This temple was built by Raja Jagat Singh
to house the image and even today, is greatly revered. The shrine
houses an image of Shri Raghunath in his chariot.

Bijli Mahadev Temple:
Set on a spur that offers some spectacular views, this temple is famous
for its 20m high rod that periodically draws lightning, which shatters
the 'Shivalinga' and scorches the building. Using only butter as
adhesive, the 'linga' is then carefully pieced together by the temple
pundit. |
