Extremely sorry for bad photographs of these wonderful places, but unfortunately I have lost the original Photographs and thought of sharing these very-low quality photographs. Above Photograph shows the popular Hadimla Temple of Manali Town. You might have seen this temple in many Bollywood movies, Advertisements or documentaries. This temple is located in Manali Town and surrounded by dense forest of high deodars all around.

Again I feel bad about sharing low-quality photograph of royal & high-quality hotel in Himachal Pradesh. This is a Premium Hotel of HPTDC and located in Naggar Village of Kullu, from where whole apple valley & kullu town is clearly visible with Beas river flowing along the line. This is Naggar Castle which is made up of Wood and Stones. Naggar Castle is located on a hill-top and gives wonderful views to the valley.
