About Valley Of Flowers Trek, Uttarakhand:

Valley of Flower Trek, It is rare to find a valley so full of flowers. The flowers are everywhere in a myriad of colours: purple, yellow and white. They envelop the valley floor like a carpet so much that there are times when you can’t see the valley at all. Yet, to see the flowers you need to time the trek right. July and August when the monsoon is active are the best time to do the trek. There would be a day or two of rains on the trek but the sight of the flowers make up for any discomfort. The Valley of Flowers is a breathtaking high-altitude valley nestled in the Himalayas, specifically in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. This valley is famous for its vibrant meadows adorned with a plethora of endemic alpine flowers, creating a colourful and picturesque landscape. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the valley remains covered in snow for a significant part of the year, adding to its mystical charm. Trekking through the Valley of Flowers is a popular activity for nature lovers and botanists alike, as it offers a unique opportunity to witness a diverse range of flora in its natural habitat. The valley's rich biodiversity and the presence of rare plant species make it a paradise for those interested in studying and observing plant life.

Surrounded by towering Himalayan peaks, the Valley of Flowers Trek provides a serene and awe-inspiring setting for visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. The combination of colourful flowers, snow-capped mountains, and clear streams makes this valley a truly enchanting destination for anyone seeking a peaceful escape into the heart of the Himalayas. The most beautiful of all Himalayan flowers, the blue Primula can be seen blooming in thousands in the valley. The best time to see the valley in full bloom is from mid-July to mid-August. To reach the valley one has to trek from Govind Ghat, on the route to Hemkund Sahib, up to Ghangaria, 12 km ahead. A few furlongs ahead of Ghangaria the trek route to the valley takes a detour towards the left. The valley is about 5 km from Ghangaria. The high-altitude serine lake, known as Hemkund ( 4329 mts.) lies in heavenly environs. A steep trek from Ghangharia leads one to this spot in about four to six hours. It is an important pilgrimage for both Hindus and Sikhs, as well as for people from other faiths. There is a Sikh Gurudwara and a Lakshman temple built on the bank of the lake. Encircled by seven snow-clad peaks and their associated glaciers, it reflects its surroundings enchantingly on its crystal clear serene waters. The glaciers from Hathi Parvat and Saptrishi peaks feed the lake and a small stream called Himganga flows out of this lake.
