The Valley of flowers is a must do trek for all. It is situated in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. At a colossal expanse of 87 sq. km. Blessed with innumerable flowers patches adds majesty to the mountains. When the sun shines hot on this field, thousands of flowers bloom here The Valley was also declared as a national park in 1982. This valley was unknown till three British mountaineers discovered it. Frankย Smythe with Eric Shipton and R.L. Holdsworth first discovered this place. In 1931, they wanted to scale a peak in Garhwal called Kamet. While returning after successfully completing the mission they took the western pass and lost their way and reached this valley. Fascinating by the beauty of the place, they dubbed it as the โValley of Flowersโ.

We begin our gradual ascent towards Ghangharia which is the base for VOF and Hemkund Sahib. As we climb up, the river Lakshman Ganga, flows down below and comes closer to the level at which it flows.

The valley is beautiful, and there are meadows of flowers as if itโs a dream locale.

Today’s trek towards Hemkund Sahib is steep at places and will take about 3 – 4 hrs. Hemkund Sahib is a popular Sikh Shrine built next to the beautiful lake. The lake is surrounded by wild flowers with Brahmkamal being the most popular. Pilgrims take a dip in the freezing cold waters of the lake, which is not an easy task. The hot tea served in the Gurudwara (shrine) is divine to say the least. We will also visit the Laxman mandir next to the Gurudwara. Late afternoon we will head back to Ghangria. Stay in Guest house.
