Description

British mountaineer Frank Smythe stumbled upon the Valley of Flowers in 1931. It’s a World Heritage Site known for its wild untamed blooms surrounded by white peaks. Over 300 species of flowers are found here.
At the meeting point of the Himalayan ranges, Zanskar and Western and Eastern Himalayas, the valley of flowers is also famous for its exotic varieties of medicinal herbs. It is believed that Lord Hanuman brought Sanjivani to the ailing Lakshman from the valley of flowers!

A trek is the best way to explore, discover and enjoy the unmatched beauty of the valley of flowers. Curated in August – the best time to enjoy the valley, Unhotel’s trek to the Valley of Flowers will be led by a local experienced guide and a naturalist
Whom is the trek meant for?
Valley of flowers is a good trek for people of all age groups. You can go on this trek with your parents and little ones. It is a popular and well-established trail where the flowers provide you with visual delights while the sacred Hemkund Sahib is manna for your spirit. Unlike most other companies, we put you up in comfortable premium places to stay.

What are the risks involved?
You would need to be careful on slippery sections of the trek especially if it’s raining. The altitude gain while trekking from Ghangria to Hemkund Sahib is something that you will need to be mindful of. But don’t worry, we keep the medicines in case anyone faces ‘AMS – Acute Mountain Sickness’ at high altitude.

You essentially trek for 3 days. From Govindghat to Ghangaria (11 km trek – 5 hrs). The trek is uphill through the mountains. Next day from Ghangaria to Valley of Flowers (3 km trek one way). Last day – Ghangaria to Govindghat ( 11 km – 3 hrs).
