It is located at an altitude of about 2,460m in the Kullu Valley at about 22km from Kullu City. It can be approached by a rewarding trek of 3 km and 18-19 km journey by vehical.

A panoramic view of Kullu and Parvati valleys can be seen from the temple. The 60 feet high staff of Bijli Mahadev temple glistens like a silver needle in the sun.

In this temple of lightning, it is said that the tall staff attracts the divine blessings in the form of lightning. It is believed that the priest of the temple has to restore the Shiva linga placed inside the temple using butter and sattoo after every lightning as it shatters to pieces with flash of lightning. In the picture below we can see the temple itself.

This place is also popular for the panoramic view of Kullu and Parvati valleys. The first picture of this post shows the Bhunter Airport and the lower Kullu Valley. The picture below shows the Parvati Valley, the village of Malana , Manikarn and Kasol.
