Deep in the heart of the Himalayas is the spectacular 'Valley of Flowers'- a beautiful meadow located at an altitude of 3500 metres. Discovered in 1931 by Frank Smythe, the Valley of Flowers turns into a riot of colours in the months of August and September with over a thousand varieties of flowers, shrubs, orchids and plants carpeting the valley in myriad hues and differing textures. With its diverse flora and fauna and dazzling snow-capped peaks around, the 'Valley of Flowers' is a naturalist’s heaven and a trekker's delight.

Our trek starts from the road head at Govindghat to a remote village of Ghangaria, the base camp for all excursions into the valley and to the next highlight of our trek, the high-altitude Hemkund Lake at 4329m. Reflecting the seven encircling snow-clad peaks and adjoining glaciers on its crystal clear waters with Himganga flowing out as a small stream, this is a famous pilgrimage site for Hindus and Sikhs in a truly a spectacular natural setting. This four-day trek discovers this Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Park in its entire dazzle.
