erched high above the Kullu Valley, Naggar Castle is a magnificent historical edifice that served as the residence of Raja Sidh Singh of Kullu. Built in the 15th century, the castle showcases a unique architectural blend of Himalayan and European styles.

Constructed using stone and wood, the castle has survived numerous earthquakes and remains a testament to traditional Himachali craftsmanship (Kath Kuni architecture). Today, it is run as a heritage hotel by HPTDC, but remains open for visitors to explore its art galleries and courtyards.

"Walk the wooden corridors of Naggar Castle, where history breathes through every stone and timber."

The castle also houses the Nicholas Roerich Art Gallery, featuring the works of the famous Russian painter who made Naggar his home. The panoramic views of the Kullu Valley from the castle balconies are simply unforgettable and make for perfect photography spots.
