The Kullu Valley is, in essence, a gateway to Little Tibet — the regions of Ladakh, Spiti, and Lahaul. Here, Buddhism and Hinduism intertwine deeply, not only in rituals and temples, but also in the inner landscape of the people’s consciousness.

“Little Tibet” is more than a poetic term. It refers to regions outside of present-day Chinese Tibet where authentic Tibetan culture has been preserved.
