About Valley Of Flowers

Lying near Badrinath, in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, Valley of Flowers is a spectacular photogenic national park that graces the Western Himalayas with its enchanting virgin beauty. Discovered back in the year 1931 by three British Mountaineers R.L. Holdsworth, Frank S. Smythe, and Eric Shipton, this beautiful valley has also been declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, owing to its incredibly mesmerizing blooms encircled by mighty icy peaks.

Spread across an area of around 87.5 square miles, this unadulterated charming meadows is home to umpteen varieties of alpine flora, including flowering plants as well as medicinal herbs. The availability of medicinal plants in this valley gives the place its mythological significance, imbibing the belief in the heart of millions that the Hindu god Lord Hanuman had once collected the legendary Sanjeevani booti from here to help cure Lord Shri Ram’s brother, Lakshman.

It was a wonderful experience. Though it was certainly not the season for Valley of flowers but I enjoyed the trek fully. The whole trip was managed successfully. Accommodation were decent. Distribution of the rooms and vehicle can be planned well in advance to avoid chaos. Food was very basic for which we were ready. But the food at Ghangaria were not cooked properly, and after listening to all members, they responded and rectified the issue. Further, though we all know trekking need discipline but it doesn't mean absence of fun. Fun part of this trek was absolutely missing. No effort was found on the ground to make it a memorable trek.

It was my first trek and it changed my life. Met some amazing people, saw some amazing views, drank from local waterfalls and streams. The team leader was great support and helped me out throughout my journey, motivated me to keep smiling and moving on. The assisting team was also very kind and helpful, with very good knowledge about the tales and folklore of the places we visited. At such high altitude we still had amazing homely food made by the team chef who was travelling with us. I would really be doing another trek with you guys soon.
