About The Trek
India's Most Beautiful
National Park
The Valley of Flowers is one of the most beautiful and mesmerising national parks in the country, situated at an altitude of 3,658 m in Bhyundar Valley in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand.
It is famous for its incredible variety of flora — Alpine flowers, Vajardanti, Marsh Marigold, Shomalap, and rare Blue Poppies — along with fauna including Asiatic black deer, snow leopard, musk deer, red fox, brown bear, and blue sheep. It is part of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Zone and has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
There are about 529+ species of alpine plants, of which 498 are flowering plants. The valley changes its colours throughout the season — snowy white in June, vibrant blue in July, and blooming pink in August. The beauty of this valley cannot be captured by any camera — it can only be captured by your eyes and stored in your memory.
Another jewel of this region is Hemkund Sahib — situated at 4,328 m, it is the highest Gurudwara of the Sikh community in the world. Numerous waterfalls, dense forest, snow-capped Himalayas, and a sacred glacial lake make it an unforgettable spiritual destination.
