Valley of Flowers – where adventure meets paradise in bloom
The Valley of Flowers, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of India’s most breathtaking national parks, located in the North Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. Nestled at an elevation of 3,600 meters, this enchanting valley is framed by icy Himalayan peaks and is celebrated worldwide for its vibrant alpine meadows, rare floral diversity, and unmatched natural beauty.
For centuries, the valley lay hidden beneath snow, bursting into life each summer as melting ice revealed a kaleidoscope of colors. Every monsoon, the valley transforms into a painter’s canvas, with blooming flowers carpeting the landscape in hues that change with the passing weeks. In 1931, British mountaineer and botanist Frank Smythe stumbled upon this hidden paradise and later authored the book “The Valley of Flowers”, which brought global attention to its magical beauty. The area was declared a national park in 1982 and recognized as a World Heritage Site for its unique ecological significance.
Legends among the locals suggest the valley is inhabited by fairies, adding to its mythical charm. The valley is home to rare and iconic species such as the Brahma Kamal, Blue Poppy, and Cobra Lily, making it a paradise for botanists, nature enthusiasts, and trekkers alike.
Best Time to Visit:
The Valley of Flowers is open only from July to September, when the blooms are at their peak. Entry is permitted between 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM, and visitors must exit before 5:00 PM. For the rest of the year, heavy snowfall renders the valley inaccessible.

After breakfast at Govind Ghat, take a short 4 km scenic drive to Poolna, the trek starting point. From here, begin your 9 km trek along the Pushpawati River to reach Ghangaria, the base camp for both Valley of Flowers and Hemkund Sahib.
The trail is well-paved and lined with pine forests, waterfalls, and vibrant wildflowers. You’ll pass tea stalls and small dhabas where you can take breaks. The sound of the river and views of snow-capped peaks accompany you throughout. Ponies and porters are also available for those who need assistance.

Leave Ghangaria early (around 6:00 AM) to make the most of your day in the Valley of Flowers National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The trek from Ghangaria to the valley spans about 4–5 km one way, following a well-defined trail that gently ascends through scenic landscapes. The journey begins through dense forests, offering cool shade and serenity, before opening into a magical expanse of alpine meadows.
On the way, you’ll cross sparkling streams and cascading waterfalls, adding to the charm of the route. Gradually, the trail bursts into vibrant patches of wildflowers, changing colors with every step.
Entering the Valley of Flowers feels like stepping into a paradise of colors and tranquility. During the monsoon, the entire valley transforms into a lush carpet of orchids, poppies, primulas, Brahma Kamal, Blue Poppy, and many other rare Himalayan blooms. The breathtaking scenery is further enhanced by snow-capped Himalayan peaks, meadows stretching endlessly, and the Pushpawati River gracefully flowing through the valley.
Spend a few hours soaking in this ethereal beauty, capturing photographs, and simply being immersed in nature’s finest creation. By afternoon, retrace your steps back to Ghangaria for an overnight stay.

💡 Tip: Carry warm layers, as temperatures at Hemkund can drop near freezing even in summer. Trek at a steady pace to avoid altitude fatigue.
This is the toughest but most rewarding day of the Valley of Flowers trek. Start your climb early in the morning, as the steep ascent to Hemkund Sahib, one of the world’s highest Gurudwaras, can take 4–5 hours. The path is well-paved but relentlessly steep, with more than 1,100 m of elevation gain in just 6 km.
As you ascend, the landscape changes dramatically—from pine and rhododendron forests to alpine pastures filled with rare Himalayan flowers like Brahma Kamal, the state flower of Uttarakhand, which blooms abundantly in this region. The crisp mountain air and cascading streams en route keep your spirits high despite the challenging climb.
Finally, you’ll reach Hemkund Sahib (4,300 m / 14,107 ft.), a revered Sikh shrine surrounded by seven snow-clad peaks. Next to it lies the pristine Hemkund Lake, fed by glaciers and known for its crystal-clear, icy waters. Pilgrims often take a dip in the sacred lake despite the freezing temperature, believing in its spiritual significance.
After spending time in this divine setting, begin your descent back to Ghangaria. The return journey takes 3–4 hours and requires steady footing on the steep slopes.

💡 Tip: Start early from Ghangaria to reach Joshimath by evening. If you have travel plans ahead, keep buffer time in case of road delays due to landslides or rain.
Your final day begins with a gradual descent from Ghangaria along the same trail you took earlier. The 9 km trek to Poolna takes about 4 hours and is mostly downhill, passing through forests, waterfalls, and the scenic banks of the Pushpawati and Lakshman Ganga rivers. The route is easier compared to previous days but requires caution on the stone-paved paths, which may be slippery after rain.
At Poolna (7,200 ft.), vehicles will be waiting to drive you back. A short drive first brings you to Govindghat (6,300 ft.), the gateway to both Valley of Flowers and Hemkund Sahib. From there, continue onward to Joshimath (6,150 ft.), a bustling Himalayan town and a hub for trekkers heading towards Badrinath, Auli, and other high-altitude expeditions.
Arrive in Joshimath by late afternoon or evening, where you can finally relax, celebrate the completion of your trek, and enjoy the comforts of town life after days in the wilderness.

Today marks the end of your Valley of Flowers adventure. After breakfast at Joshimath, begin the long but scenic drive back to Rishikesh. The route follows the Alaknanda River down its winding valleys, offering spectacular views of terraced villages, coniferous forests, and the mighty Ganga confluence points.
On the way, you’ll pass through several famous Prayags (river confluences) of Uttarakhand:
- Vishnuprayag – where Alaknanda meets Dhauliganga
- Karnaprayag – confluence of Alaknanda and Pindar
- Rudraprayag – meeting point of Alaknanda and Mandakini
- Devprayag – the sacred confluence where Alaknanda merges with Bhagirathi to form the holy Ganga
By evening, you’ll reach Rishikesh, the yoga capital of the world, where your trek officially concludes. You can choose to spend the night here or continue your onward journey.

The sound of the river and views of snow-capped peaks accompany you throughout. Ponies and porters are also available for those who need assistance.
By afternoon, you’ll arrive at Ghangaria (2,926 m / 9,600 ft.), a small settlement buzzing with trekkers and pilgrims. Rest well here, as tomorrow you’ll head into the Valley of Flowers.
🍲 Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner included
🛏️ Stay: Guest House / Hotel in Ghangaria (triple/quad sharing basis)
🔆 Highlights:
- UNESCO World Heritage Site – Valley of Flowers
- Over 500 species of alpine flora

- Himalayan peaks & the Pushpawati River backdrop
- 🥾 Trek Distance: 9 km · ⏱️ Trek Duration: 5–6 hours · 🗻 Altitude Gain: ⬆️ ~579 m (~1,900 ft.) up & ⬇️ descent back
💡 Tip: Entry to the Valley is permitted only between 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM. Exit by 5:00 PM. Starting early ensures you have ample time inside.
Leave Ghangaria early (around 6:00 AM) to make the most of your day in the Valley of Flowers National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The trek from Ghangaria to the valley spans about 4–5 km one way, following a well-defined trail that gently ascends through scenic landscapes. The journey begins through dense forests, offering cool shade and serenity, before opening into a magical expanse of alpine meadows.
On the way, you’ll cross sparkling streams and cascading waterfalls, adding to the charm of the route. Gradually, the trail bursts into vibrant patches of wildflowers, changing colors with every step.
Entering the Valley of Flowers feels like stepping into a paradise of colors and tranquility. During the monsoon, the entire valley transforms into a lush carpet of orchids, poppies, primulas, Brahma Kamal, Blue Poppy, and many other rare Himalayan blooms. The breathtaking scenery is further enhanced by snow-capped Himalayan peaks, meadows stretching endlessly, and the Pushpawati River gracefully flowing through the valley.
Spend a few hours soaking in this ethereal beauty, capturing photographs, and simply being immersed in nature’s finest creation. By afternoon, retrace your steps back to Ghangaria for an overnight stay.

- 🥾 Trek Distance: 12 km · ⏱️ Trek Duration: 8–9 hours · 🗻 Altitude Gain: ⬆️ ~1,181 m (~3,875 ft.) up, ⬇️ descent back
💡 Tip: Carry warm layers, as temperatures at Hemkund can drop near freezing even in summer. Trek at a steady pace to avoid altitude fatigue.
This is the toughest but most rewarding day of the Valley of Flowers trek. Start your climb early in the morning, as the steep ascent to Hemkund Sahib, one of the world’s highest Gurudwaras, can take 4–5 hours. The path is well-paved but relentlessly steep, with more than 1,100 m of elevation gain in just 6 km.
As you ascend, the landscape changes dramatically—from pine and rhododendron forests to alpine pastures filled with rare Himalayan flowers like Brahma Kamal, the state flower of Uttarakhand, which blooms abundantly in this region. The crisp mountain air and cascading streams en route keep your spirits high despite the challenging climb.
Finally, you’ll reach Hemkund Sahib (4,300 m / 14,107 ft.), a revered Sikh shrine surrounded by seven snow-clad peaks. Next to it lies the pristine Hemkund Lake, fed by glaciers and known for its crystal-clear, icy waters. Pilgrims often take a dip in the sacred lake despite the freezing temperature, believing in its spiritual significance.
After spending time in this divine setting, begin your descent back to Ghangaria. The return journey takes 3–4 hours and requires steady footing on the steep slopes.
🍲 Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner included
🛏️ Stay: Guest House / Hotel in Ghangaria (triple/quad sharing basis)

- 🥾 Trek Distance: 9 km · ⏱️ Trek Duration: 4 hours · 🛣️ Drive Distance: 20 km · ⏱️ Drive Duration: 2 hours · 🗻 Altitude Loss: ⬇️ ~731 m (~2,400 ft.) trek & ~320 m (~1,050 ft.) drive descent
💡 Tip: Start early from Ghangaria to reach Joshimath by evening. If you have travel plans ahead, keep buffer time in case of road delays due to landslides or rain.
Your final day begins with a gradual descent from Ghangaria along the same trail you took earlier. The 9 km trek to Poolna takes about 4 hours and is mostly downhill, passing through forests, waterfalls, and the scenic banks of the Pushpawati and Lakshman Ganga rivers. The route is easier compared to previous days but requires caution on the stone-paved paths, which may be slippery after rain.
At Poolna (7,200 ft.), vehicles will be waiting to drive you back. A short drive first brings you to Govindghat (6,300 ft.), the gateway to both Valley of Flowers and Hemkund Sahib. From there, continue onward to Joshimath (6,150 ft.), a bustling Himalayan town and a hub for trekkers heading towards Badrinath, Auli, and other high-altitude expeditions.
Arrive in Joshimath by late afternoon or evening, where you can finally relax, celebrate the completion of your trek, and enjoy the comforts of town life after days in the wilderness.

💡 Tip: Start early from Joshimath to avoid traffic on the mountain roads and to reach Rishikesh by evening.
Today marks the end of your Valley of Flowers adventure. After breakfast at Joshimath, begin the long but scenic drive back to Rishikesh. The route follows the Alaknanda River down its winding valleys, offering spectacular views of terraced villages, coniferous forests, and the mighty Ganga confluence points.
On the way, you’ll pass through several famous Prayags (river confluences) of Uttarakhand:
- Vishnuprayag – where Alaknanda meets Dhauliganga
- Karnaprayag – confluence of Alaknanda and Pindar
- Rudraprayag – meeting point of Alaknanda and Mandakini
- Devprayag – the sacred confluence where Alaknanda merges with Bhagirathi to form the holy Ganga
By evening, you’ll reach Rishikesh, the yoga capital of the world, where your trek officially concludes. You can choose to spend the night here or continue your onward journey.
