The Valley of Flowers trek is one of the most famous Himalayan treks in India. Even it is that much popular that people who haven’t been to the Himalayas, know about the Valley of Flowers trek.
Valley Of Flower's legendary fame stems from the fact that it is one of India's oldest established treks. The Valley of Flowers National Park was founded by the Indian government in 1980, and it was later designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002. As a result, trekkers from all over the world have added Valley of Flowers to their bucket lists. The valley is at least a couple of kilometers wide and more than ten kilometers deep, and the view tends to be a carpet of blues, pinks, and yellows streaming along the length and breadth. Having said that, you should keep in mind that the Valley Of Flowers trek is not an easy trek. The trek is mild to difficult, with slightly longer trekking days and a steep climb to Hemkund Sahib that will test your stamina. As a result, be well-prepared for this journey. This is covered in-depth in the 'difficulty' portion of this trek guide.
