Pir Panjal ranges. The valley is approximately 225 km from the capital town of
Shimla and runs north to south of the

Aut to the
Rohtang Pass. The Kullu valley is famous for hand-made shawls and kullu caps which are made of a woollen cloth with variety of colourful bands of Shaneel around it. It is an ideal place for rafting, paragliding, skiing and rock climbing.
