Program Overview:
The Valley of Flowers, spanning 87 sq km in Chamoli District, Uttarakhand, is a UNESCO World Heritage site 🏞️. Nestled in the Himalayan Ranges, it remained unknown until Mountaineer Frank S. Smith discovered it in 1931 🌍. This breathtaking paradise is a convergence point of the Western and Eastern Himalayas 🌄 and is surrounded by snow-capped peaks and glaciers ❄️.
The valley showcases 300+ species of wildflowers 🌸, including Blue Poppy, Brahmakamal, and Geranium. The region is also home to diverse wildlife, 🐻🦝 as the Himalayan black bear, grey langur, and flying squirrels. The best time to visit is from mid-July to mid-August, when the flowers are in full bloom 🌺.
