Kullu derives its name from Kuluta or Kulanatpeetha, "the end of the habitable world". Today it is a bustling tourist town with Manali in its vicinity. The district does not have forts; it could probably be because no need was felt to have fortification, as the terrain of Pir Panjal ranges of the Himalayas are steep and inhospitable.

The Marvelous landscapes, hospitable, peaceful & co-operative people having distinct life style & culture are some of the points that separate Kullu from rest of Himachal Pradesh.
