Naggar Castle
About
Naggar Castle stands like a silent guardian above the Kullu Valley, built in the 15th century by Raja Sidh Singh of Kullu. Constructed in traditional Kath Kuni style using wood and stone, the structure feels both rugged and elegant. The wooden balconies open to sweeping views of snow peaks and apple orchards below. Inside, the castle houses old photographs, traditional artifacts, and a small temple within its premises. The blend of history, Himalayan architecture, and dramatic valley backdrops gives it a timeless charm. Today, part of the castle functions as a heritage hotel, yet it still retains its old world character.
