about valley of Flowers & Hemkund Sahib

The Valley of Flowers with Hemkund Sahib Trek is a scenic national park located in Uttarakhand, India. It is renowned for its stunning meadows, vibrant alpine flowers, and breathtaking landscapes. The valley is nestled in the Western Himalayas and lies in the vicinity of the Nanda Devi National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It is situated in the Chamoli district, Uttarakhand. It is part of the Garhwal region and is located at an elevation ranging from 3,250 meters (10,660 feet) to 6,750 meters (22,140 feet) above sea level.

The valley is known for its diverse flora and is home to over 650 species of flowering plants, including many rare and endangered species. The vibrant blooms, which include varieties of orchids, poppies, daisies, and primulas, create a colorful carpet-like effect across the valley. The area is also inhabited by various species of animals like the Asiatic black bear, snow leopard, musk deer, and a variety of birds.

This offers a captivating experience for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers, providing an opportunity to witness the beauty of untouched alpine meadows and rare Himalayan flora.

The Valley of Flowers trek is a popular adventure activity for nature lovers and hikers alike. It takes you through the stunning landscapes of the Valley of Flowers National Park in Uttarakhand, India.

It begins from the town of Govindghat, which is accessible by road from Joshimath. From Govindghat, you start hiking towards the village of Ghangaria. This initial stretch is a 13-kilometer (8-mile) trek that follows the path along the Pushpawati River. Ghangaria is the base camp for the Valley of Flowers trek.

From Ghangaria, you continue trekking for approximately 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) to reach the entry gate of the Valley of Flowers National Park. The park is 87.5 square kilometers (33.7 square miles) in size and offers breathtaking views of meadows adorned with colorful flowers.

This Trek is considered moderate in terms of difficulty. The initial trek from Govindghat to Ghangaria involves a gradual ascent, and the trail is well-marked. However, the last stretch to the Valley of Flowers entry gate includes some steep sections and can be a bit challenging.

You need to obtain an entry permit from the forest check post in Govindghat. The permit is valid for a specific duration, usually a day or more, and allows you access to the Valley of Flowers National Park.

The Valley of Flowers trek is an incredible journey that combines natural beauty, adventure, and serenity. It offers a unique opportunity to explore the enchanting Himalayan landscapes and witness the vibrant colors of the alpine flowers in one of the most beautiful valleys in the world.
