Renting out your home in Naggar

Our advice for Naggar

Naggar stands on the left bank of the Beas at about 1,800 metres, some 22 km from Manali and a similar distance from Kullu. For roughly fourteen centuries it was the seat of the Kullu rajas, and its stone-and-timber castle, which came through the 1905 earthquake, is now a heritage hotel run by the state tourism corporation. Above the village, the estate of the Russian painter Nicholas Roerich has become a museum.

The other side of the river

Most traffic to Manali uses the right-bank highway. Naggar's road, on the left bank, is quieter, passing through apple orchards and older villages. That gives an owner a clear proposition: the Kullu valley without Manali's congestion, at a slower pace and often better value for longer stays.

Guests who come for culture and calm

• Travellers interested in history, temples and Roerich's work.
• Couples and families who use Naggar as a base for day trips to Manali and Solang.
• Writers, artists and remote workers staying for weeks outside peak season.
• Walkers heading to villages and trails above the valley.
