The Valley of Flowers National Park occupies an area of 87 square kilometres in the Chamoli district. It is one of the two core zones of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, along with the Nanda Devi National Park. It is believed that the UNESCO World Heritage site was found in 1931 when three British mountaineers got lost and happened upon this breathtaking valley.
The valley hosts over 600 varieties of exotic flowers, including anemones, orchids, poppies, primulas, marigolds, and daisies. It is a spectacular sight for visitors! There are striking sights along the way, such as gushing waterfalls and untamed streams, during the walk to the valley. Apart from flora, the valley is home to fauna like Himalayan monal, black bear, red fox, lime butterfly, snow leopard and more. For tourists, this is a must-visit location and will be open from June 1st!
