Brief Note on Valley Of Flowers

An outstandingly beautiful high-altitude Himalayan valley, the Valley of Flowers has been acknowledged by renowned mountaineers and botanists in literature for over a century and for much longer, in Hindu mythology. According to Hindu mythology, this exotic valley is the same place from where Hanuman of Ramayana collected the 'Sanjeevani' herbs to revive Lakshmana. This valley has also been believed to be the playground of fairies and nymphs. Its ‘gentle’ landscape, breathtakingly beautiful meadows of alpine flowers splashed with colour, blooming with hundreds different beautiful flowers, take on various shades of colours as time progress make it a perfect fairyland. A much sought after haunt for flower-lovers, botanists and of course trekkers, for whom the Valley of Flowers is a too good an excuse to embark on a mission, gives you a once in a lifetime opportunity to savour the best of nature.

The Valley of Flowers is situated in the upper expansions of the Bhyundar Ganga. The valley is spread over an area of 87.5 sq. km and ranges from 3,250 mts to 6750 mts in altitude. The Valley of Flowers national park appeared on the tourist map only as early as 1931 when Frank Smith, a British tourist, stumbled across this valley when he lost his way while returning from Mt. Kamet.

The Valley of Flowers national park starts from Ganghria, but one reaches the main valley only after crossing the gorge and the stream starting from the Nar Parvat, 3kms from Ganghria. The valley begins to bloom right after the snows melt but the peak blooming period is from mid July to September. The floral composition changes almost on a daily basis during these 3 months. The valley has a natural bloom of over 300 species of wild flowers like, Anemone, Geranium, Marsh Marigold, Primula; Ptentilla, Brahmakamal, Blue Poppy, Cobra Lily etc. The abundance of the Asamanda Fern in the valley sets it apart in the floral annals of the Himalayas. Apart from flowers, the valley is also the home of certain species of butterflies, the blue sheep, Himalayan bear, the Himalayan mouse, hare and the snow leopard.

Situated 35 kms from Joshimath at an altitude of 3048 mts, Ghanghria is the most convenient base camp to access the Valley of Flowers & Hemkund. (10 km trek route to the Valley of Flowers and a 12 km trail to Hemkund). The path from Ghanghria winds through glaciers, snow bridges and alpine forests while ascending to the Valley of Flowers.
