Nirmand is a village located in Kullu district, of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It is one of the largest villages in Himachal Pradesh and serves as the headquarters of Nirmand Tehsil and Nirmand developmental block of Kullu district.
Overlooking the Satluj valley in the lesser-known Seraj region of Kullu district, and about 150 km from Shimla and 17 km from Rampur, is the large Nirmand village. This village has been in existence since the early Vedic period, making it one of the oldest rural settlements in India. A number of ancient stone and wooden temples dating back to the 6th and the 7th centuries A.D. speak of Nirmand’s religious and historical importance. For this reason it is often called the "Kashi of the Himalayas."
