Overview & Story
The Kullu Valley, running south from Manali along the Beas River, has become one of the more accessible centres for outdoor adventure activities in Himachal Pradesh. Several YouthCamping Himachal trips include a day in Kullu.
**River Rafting on the Beas**
The rafting stretch on the Beas River in Kullu covers roughly 8–9 km, starting at various points between Pirdi and Jhiri depending on the water level. The river has Class II and Class III rapids — suitable for beginners with a safety briefing. A rafting session takes 1.5 to 2 hours on the water. Wetsuits, life jackets, and helmets are provided. The rafting is included in the Manali Kasol Summer trip package; it is self-paid on some other trips.
Essential Travel & Packing Tips
Expert recommendations for a safe and comfortable trip
If paragliding is a priority, arrive at the launch site early — afternoon winds can be unpredictable.
The Kullu shawl showrooms allow bargaining to an extent, but the baseline prices are generally fixed.
River levels on the Beas vary by month. Monsoon months (July–September) have higher and faster water.
