Hi there🌺
How's everything going on?
I hope wherever you are, you all are fine🙂
Today , I am back with another travel blog. Last week of February , my family decided on Sunday to visit a Nature park in babeli , Kullu. Kullu is a small district of Himachal Pradesh , India. The Forest Department of Himachal Pradesh has opened this Nature park with the help of the villagers of babeli .This Nature park is 8 km far from main Kullu town towards Kullu Manali road. You have to buy a ticket at ticket counter to enter in this park.
This Nature park used to be garbage dump and drinking hole for villagers until 2017 , when the forest department had converted it into a Nature park. It was the idea which was given itself by the villagers inspired by a Nature park in Mohal , Kullu. They had dig a big hole to dump the garbage and covered that from soil brought from 5 km away. These clothes these statues are wearing resembles the kulluvi pahari dress .
Lots of trees which can be found in Kullu forest has grown in the whole Nature park.
This statue is a typical kasthkhuni style house which can be found in Kullu villages. These houses are mostly made from woods and stones. These houses are cold in hot weather and warm in cold weather. During old times , when there is no road and there are lots of woods available , these types of houses are made. Nowadays , people are making modern houses due to less woods available. But , then also you can find a lot of kasthkhuni style houses in the villages of Kullu.
This nature park is located on the banks of river Beas at a height of 1260 metres above sea level. At the banks of river Beas, you can sit and enjoy the cool wind flowing. You can also do river rafting at this place .
The Nature park is surrounded by high lush green mountains which adds to the beauty of the park.
There are wild animals statues all around the park.
This is the statue of snow leopard who is the state animal of Himachal Pradesh.
The forest department had developed a 100 metres long artificial lake which is attracting a huge rush of tourists. The boating facility is also provided for tourists.
This nature park is developed very close to NH - 21. It is the first park developed in Kullu which has a musical fountain , waterfall and other things for children.
The beauty and weather of this place is attracting a lot of tourists. The pavement area is to walk in the whole Nature park made of cement and tiles.
This nature park has helped the earnings of villagers increased significantly since the park came up .
It is a good place to spend time with your family , friends and children. You can find lots of famous kulluvi things like shawls , topi etc in various handloom shops.
That's it for today's blog. I hope you find this nature park beautiful and calming like I had found.
Thank you so much for your precious time 🌈
Sending you lots of love from mountains💚
