About Valley of Flowers Trek:
The surreal views of the mighty Himalayas in the backdrop make the Valley of Flowers one of the most beautiful treks in the Himalayan region. This hidden jewel is a unique habitat and home to millions of species of wildflowers such as saxifrages, seams, lilies, poppy, calendula, daisies, geranium, zinnia and petunia, thus making it a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Valley of Flowers is also believed to be the place from where Hanuman brought the magical herb to resuscitate Lakshman in the Hindu epic Ramayan. Just as you set your foot into the valley, the intoxicating mix of fragrances emitted from the flowers makes you feel in a paradise.
