Valley of Flowers

Valley of Flowers
There Valley of Flowers is a beautiful valley, 13064 ft in height, which is famous for its flora. The Valley of Flowers is a 17 km walk from Govind Ghat.

Like Hemkund Saheb, you need to stop at Ghangaria while going to the Valley of Flowers. From Ghangaria, a 5 km road goes towards north for the Valley of Flowers. At the end of the road there is a small unpaved bridge which takes you to the Valley of Flowers.

Very recently the Valley of Flowers was declared a national park. The peak season for visiting the Valley of Flowers is between the month of June and October. During the rest of the year it remains uninhabited due to the heavy snowfall.

If after visiting the Valley of Flowers you want to stay there, you can come back to Ghangaria where Tourist Rest Houses are available.
