The Flower Kingdom

at 3,500 m.
The Valley of Flowers National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site tucked into the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. Spread over 87.5 square kilometers between 3,352 m and 3,658 m, the valley cradles over 500 species of alpine flowers — including Himalayan blue poppies, orchids, primulas, marsh marigolds, and the elusive Brahma Kamal.
The valley is only accessible from June to October, with the peak bloom happening in mid-July to mid-August, when the monsoon paints the meadows in impossible shades of pink, gold, purple and blue.
Our route also includes an optional day-trip to Hemkund Sahib — the sacred glacial lake and gurudwara at 4,329 m, where Sikh pilgrims and trekkers walk together in silence.
