Kullu district
[2] The head of Kullu's royal family had been granted the Waziri Rupi by the Sikh emperor along with the title 'Rai', and this continued throughout the British period.[2] Upon the Independence of India, until 1960, Lahaul and Spiti continued being parts of the Kullu tehsil, as had also been the case during the British rule.[21][22][23] Some valleys in the district contain historic seasonal migration routes of the Gaddi and Gujjar transhumant communities.[27] Service sector industries, in field such as tourism, education, floriculture, and livestock and poultry farming have a good scope of growth in the district.At the same time, Kullu is not far from regions such as the Trans-Himalayas and Tibet, and lies on an important historic trade route from Punjab to Ladakh and Central Asia.[28] In modern times, these features of the Kullu valley have drawn many researchers, scientists, artists, and seekers of other kinds to it.Nonetheless, the site of the former institute, a part of the Roerich estate in Naggar, continues to operate a library and some exhibitions.[29] The Himalayan Institute of Cultural and Heritage Studies (HICHS), until early 2023, was based in Katrain village, 30 km north of Kullu.This institution used to offer curated heritage walks in the Kullu valley; conducted on-site and online courses related to Himalayan cultures, religions, iconography, and architecture, and hosted weekly online talks by scholars and artists from India and around the world whose work featured the Himalayas.[34] The following is a non-exhaustive list of historical, cultural, religious, scenic, and ecological places of interest in the Kullu district.
