Naggar is a charming, peaceful village in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh whose main attraction is the imposing Naggar Castle. The village is surrounded by magnificent deodar forests and fruit orchards and here you can see the locals dressed in colourful traditional woolen clothing. Situated at the banks of the river Beas, Naggar is ideal for tourists looking to unwind on a holiday in the hills away from the hustle of the crowded hill stations like Shimla and Manali.

Winter temperatures are low and warm clothes are a must but for the rest of the year the climate is pleasant. Summer is a popular tourist season.
