Naggar Castle

A medieval wood-and-stone castle turned heritage hotel, Naggar Castle offers sweeping views of the Kullu Valley and a glimpse into Himachal’s royal past.

Built in the 15th century by Raja Sidh Singh of Kullu, Naggar Castle is a fine example of traditional Himachali architecture blending stone and wood with Kathkuni-style craftsmanship. Once the royal seat of Kullu’s rulers, it now functions as a heritage hotel under HPTDC and features a small museum and art gallery showcasing the works of Russian artist Nicholas Roerich, who lived nearby. The castle’s balconies and courtyards open to stunning views of the Beas Valley, snow-clad peaks, and the surrounding deodar forests. Its rustic charm, historical aura, and serene setting make it a perfect cultural stopover for travelers exploring the region.

How to Reach Naggar Castle

Naggar Castle is around 20 km from Manali and 22 km from Kullu; easily reachable by taxi or local bus via the scenic left bank road along River Beas.
