Incredible Himachal Holidays is offering special packages to enjoy and celebrate one of the most important and colourful festival – ‘International Kullu Dussehra’ at the ‘Valley of Living Gods’. When the whole country wind-ups the celebration of Dussehra by burning the effigies of Ravana, Kumbhkarna and Meghnath, dussehra at Kullu gets kicked off devoid of this burning ritual. It is a beautiful amalgam of history, culture and customs. During the festival you will get a chance to see the opening ceremony of festival with Rath Yatra of Lord Raghunath which begins after the Chariot of Devi Hadimba (Grand Mother of Royal family of Kullu) reaches Kullu & people pull the Rath(Charriot) of Lord Raghunath Ji towards Dhalpur Ground. Hundreds of Hindu deities mounted on colourful & decorated palanquins participate in this procession and gives an impression being in heaven alive with Gods. We have also arranged a sightseeing tour of Manali & Rohtang Pass with a comfortable stay in the best hotels in the region. Our representative will take you to all the important temples & will suggest you the best photo shoot locations and other points of attractions.
