The Valley of the Flowers National Park is located in the Western Himalaya mountain range in India's state of Uttarakhand. These grassy pastures, at an altitude of 13,000 feet, are covered with snow most of the year. However, in July and August, more than 600 varieties of beautiful plants are in full bloom. The valley has it's own micro-climate and it is often chilly, misty and raining during these summer months.
If you decide to take the four hour trek from the village of Ghangria, you will enjoy the orchids, poppies, primulas, marigold, daisies and anemones that cover the ground, as well as the backdrop of the Himalayans! This spot needs little words as pictures seem to tell it all :).
