Question

Valley of Flowers is a national park in Uttarakhand, India. Nestled in the Western Himalayas, the valley is

located at an altitude of 3,600 meters above sea level and is famous for charming meadows of alpine

flowers. Myriad alpine flowers stretched across 87.5 sq km. make this place a colourful paradise. The

beautiful valley is also a world heritage site with its pristine beauty and mystical surroundings attracting

nature lovers, photographers and botanists. Valley of Flowers is bifurcated by Pushpawati River. The locals

believe that the valley was once inhabited by fairies. It is one of the famous trekking destinations in India.

One cannot stay at the Valley of Flowers, therefore, Ghangaria, and the base camp for the trek to the Valley

of Flowers, remains an ideal place to relax and sleep.

The Valley of Flowers is a 3-km climb from Ghangaria. The Brahmakamal, the Blue Poppy and the Cobra

Lily are some flowers that bloom in the valley. The Himalayan Balsam is the most predominant flower of

the valley. The valley is covered with snow for most of the year. The valley opens on 1st June every year for

visitors. There are huge glaciers in the Valley of Flowers in June. At this time, snow starts melting and the

seeds of the last year‘s plants start germinating. By July, all the flowers are in full bloom. One can find the

maximum number of flowers until mid-August. Snowfall starts in October, and the valley is closed officially

for public.
