The Valley of Flowers trek is one of India’s most popular treks in the Himalayas. People who haven’t even stepped in the Himalayas, have heard about the Valley of Flowers trek.

But there is a solid reason behind Valley Of Flower’s legendary popularity – it is one of India’s oldest known treks.

In 1980, Indian government created the Valley of Flowers National Park, and later in 2002, it was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This pushed Valley of Flowers on the bucket list of trekkers from around the world.

Having said that, you must note that Valley Of Flowers trek is not easy. It is a moderate level trek, with slightly longer trekking days and a steep ascent to Hemkund Sahib that will challenge your endurance. So, prepare well for this trek. We have talked in detail about this in the ‘difficulty’ section of this trek guide.

Monsoons breathe a new life into the valley, which morphs into an expansive quilt of blossoming flowers.
