Naggar Castle

Naggar Castle is a fortress in Kullu district that combines stone walls with wooden balconies, displaying traditional Western Himalayan architectural style. The structure spans multiple floors connected by corridors, with rooms arranged throughout its interior layout.

Raja Sidh Singh built this fortress in 1460, sourcing stone from an abandoned palace for its construction. It served as the administrative center for the rulers of Kullu and remained a seat of regional authority.

The castle houses an art gallery displaying works by Nicholas Roerich and local artists, reflecting the region's connection to the arts. Visitors can walk through rooms filled with paintings that show how important artistic expression has been to this place.

The site is located around 55 kilometers from Bhuntar Airport and accessible from the town area. It operates as a heritage hotel with modern facilities, including a restaurant and 24-hour guest services.

The fortress sits atop an elevated position with views of snow-capped Himalayan peaks, dense forests, and terraced fields across the Kullu Valley. This location offers visitors an exceptional perspective of the surrounding mountain landscape.
