Valley of Flowers Trek Overview

Monks on Wheels in association with Justwravel brings to you the Valley of Flowers Trek, a spectacular adventure for nature lovers and trekkers alike. With its vast expanse of blooming flowers covering 87.5 square kilometers at an altitude of 14,200 ft, the Valley of Flowers trek is one of the most beautiful Himalayan treks in India. The rich biodiversity and stunning landscapes attract avid nature enthusiasts, while the challenging ascents and descents offer an exciting experience for trekkers. This trek also leads to Hemkund Sahib, a revered pilgrimage site, adding a spiritual dimension to the journey.

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2002, the Valley of Flowers is home to over 520 species of flowers, creating a vibrant tapestry of pink, blue, and purple hues. Located in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, this national park is not only a floral paradise but also a sanctuary for endangered animals like snow leopards and red foxes. Situated at an altitude of approximately 12,000 ft, the Valley of Flowers National Park and the Nanda Devi National Park together form a transition zone between the Himalayas and the Zanskar range.

The Valley of Flowers trek is graded as easy to moderate, making it perfect for beginners and families. The most challenging part of the trek is the climb to Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara, the highest Gurudwara in the world and an important pilgrimage site. The valley itself stretches for nearly 10 kilometers, adorned with a rainbow of flowers that compel you to stop and admire them. The scent of flora lingers in the air as you traverse the narrow paths through the flower beds.

The trek begins with an 8-hour drive from Rishikesh to Joshimath, the base camp for the Valley of Flowers trek. The scenic drive offers glimpses of four of the Panch Prayag, the five holy confluences of the river Ganga: Devprayag, Rudraprayag, Karnaprayag, and Nand Prayag. From Joshimath, we drive to Pulna village, the starting point of the trek, and then trek 9 kilometers to Ghangaria, with the Pushpawati river flowing alongside. The trail is lined with small dhabas, providing plenty of resources for water and snacks. As you walk, the Hathi Parvat ranges come into view, and the steep climb requires careful footing until you reach Ghangaria village, located at 10,000 ft.

The next day, you will explore the Valley of Flowers. A 4-kilometer walk from Ghangaria takes you to Laxman waterfall, a refreshing sight. After passing a forest check post and crossing a wooden bridge over the Pushpawati river, you enter a natural paradise where blooming flowers in rainbow colors adorn the Himalayan peaks. The valley stretches for 5 kilometers, ending at a glacier, with views of the majestic Nilgiri Parvat, Bhyundar Khal, Rattan, and Gauri Parvat. Eating and camping are not allowed in the valley, so you return to Ghangaria for the night.

The hardest part of the trek is the climb to Gurudwara Hemkund Sahib at 14,107 ft, the highest Gurudwara in the world. The 6-hour trek from Ghangaria is strenuous, with steep ascents and lower oxygen levels. The breathtaking views of the valley and a cascading waterfall make the climb worthwhile. At the top, the pristine Hemkund lake mirrors the surrounding mountains, and the Langar offers hot chai and khichdi, a much-needed refreshment. The lake, formed by the melting glaciers of Hathi Parvat and Saptarishi peaks, is surrounded by rare flowers like Brahma Kamal. A temple dedicated to Laxman, Lord Rama’s brother, is also nearby. The descent to Pulna village the next day is easier, with plenty of dhabas along the way, leading back to Joshimath and concluding the Valley of Flowers trek.

The Valley of Flowers trek is safe and well-frequented by pilgrims, with well-laid trails. However, caution is advised on slippery sections, especially during the rainy season. The best time to visit is in July and August, when the flowers are in full bloom. Prominent species include Brahmakamal, Blue Poppy, Cobra Lily, Anemone, Geranium, Marsh Marigold, and Primula. Beyond flowers, the valley offers waterfalls, glaciers, towering mountains, gushing rivers, quaint villages, and an abundance of peace.

  • Hiking Shoes : Durable footwear designed for rugged terrains.

  • Poncho: A poncho is an evolved form of a raincoat that provides coverage to your body as well as your bag and ensures total water protection from rain.
  • Quick Dry Towel: A quick dry towel will help in maintaining proper hygiene. It must dry quickly because the wet fabric will only increase the chance of bacterial growth.
  • Sanitizer: Essential for maintaining cleanliness while trekking.
  • Sun Cap / Hat: A lightweight sun cap with side flaps is perfect to keep your head cool and avoid sunburns on a sunny day.
  • Sunscreen SPF 40+: To avoid sunburns and chafing, you need to put on sunscreen as well as cold cream.
  • Water Bottle (Re-usable): Hydration is extremely important when it comes to trekking. Carrying a water bottle that you can refill with Himalayan water is a must.

  • Personal Documents & ID’s: Identification proofs like Aadhar Card, Drivers License.

  • Track Pants: A good pair of track pants made of polyester will let your skin breathe. They’re lightweight, dry easily, and comfortable to walk around in. You can easily avoid chafing and rashes by investing in a good pair of track pants.
  • Trekking Shoes: A good trekking shoe is comfortable, provides ankle support, and has a good grip as well. They shouldn’t be chunky, instead, they should be lightweight and sturdy.

Valley of Flowers Trek Overview

Monks on Wheels in association with Justwravel brings to you the Valley of Flowers Trek, a spectacular adventure for nature lovers and trekkers alike. With its vast expanse of blooming flowers covering 87.5 square kilometers at an altitude of 14,200 ft, the Valley of Flowers trek is one of the most beautiful Himalayan treks in India. The rich biodiversity and stunning landscapes attract avid nature enthusiasts, while the challenging ascents and descents offer an exciting experience for trekkers. This trek also leads to Hemkund Sahib, a revered pilgrimage site, adding a spiritual dimension to the journey.

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2002, the Valley of Flowers is home to over 520 species of flowers, creating a vibrant tapestry of pink, blue, and purple hues. Located in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, this national park is not only a floral paradise but also a sanctuary for endangered animals like snow leopards and red foxes. Situated at an altitude of approximately 12,000 ft, the Valley of Flowers National Park and the Nanda Devi National Park together form a transition zone between the Himalayas and the Zanskar range.

The Valley of Flowers trek is graded as easy to moderate, making it perfect for beginners and families. The most challenging part of the trek is the climb to Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara, the highest Gurudwara in the world and an important pilgrimage site. The valley itself stretches for nearly 10 kilometers, adorned with a rainbow of flowers that compel you to stop and admire them. The scent of flora lingers in the air as you traverse the narrow paths through the flower beds.

The trek begins with an 8-hour drive from Rishikesh to Joshimath, the base camp for the Valley of Flowers trek. The scenic drive offers glimpses of four of the Panch Prayag, the five holy confluences of the river Ganga: Devprayag, Rudraprayag, Karnaprayag, and Nand Prayag. From Joshimath, we drive to Pulna village, the starting point of the trek, and then trek 9 kilometers to Ghangaria, with the Pushpawati river flowing alongside. The trail is lined with small dhabas, providing plenty of resources for water and snacks. As you walk, the Hathi Parvat ranges come into view, and the steep climb requires careful footing until you reach Ghangaria village, located at 10,000 ft.

The next day, you will explore the Valley of Flowers. A 4-kilometer walk from Ghangaria takes you to Laxman waterfall, a refreshing sight. After passing a forest check post and crossing a wooden bridge over the Pushpawati river, you enter a natural paradise where blooming flowers in rainbow colors adorn the Himalayan peaks. The valley stretches for 5 kilometers, ending at a glacier, with views of the majestic Nilgiri Parvat, Bhyundar Khal, Rattan, and Gauri Parvat. Eating and camping are not allowed in the valley, so you return to Ghangaria for the night.

The hardest part of the trek is the climb to Gurudwara Hemkund Sahib at 14,107 ft, the highest Gurudwara in the world. The 6-hour trek from Ghangaria is strenuous, with steep ascents and lower oxygen levels. The breathtaking views of the valley and a cascading waterfall make the climb worthwhile. At the top, the pristine Hemkund lake mirrors the surrounding mountains, and the Langar offers hot chai and khichdi, a much-needed refreshment. The lake, formed by the melting glaciers of Hathi Parvat and Saptarishi peaks, is surrounded by rare flowers like Brahma Kamal. A temple dedicated to Laxman, Lord Rama’s brother, is also nearby. The descent to Pulna village the next day is easier, with plenty of dhabas along the way, leading back to Joshimath and concluding the Valley of Flowers trek.

The Valley of Flowers trek is safe and well-frequented by pilgrims, with well-laid trails. However, caution is advised on slippery sections, especially during the rainy season. The best time to visit is in July and August, when the flowers are in full bloom. Prominent species include Brahmakamal, Blue Poppy, Cobra Lily, Anemone, Geranium, Marsh Marigold, and Primula. Beyond flowers, the valley offers waterfalls, glaciers, towering mountains, gushing rivers, quaint villages, and an abundance of peace.
