    ABOUT

    VALLEY OF FLOWERS

    In recent years, the Valley of Flowers trek has grown in popularity. For any nature lover, the sight of a valley flooded with flowers of all kinds and colors can be enticing. The local folklore adds to the ambiance of this valley. They also go so far as to make the smell of flowers so powerful that tourists become oblivious. We haven’t had any similar encounters, but we believe it to be real. The valley is studded with some of the most vivid, stunning, and pristine flowers there is, making it one of the most beautiful Valley treks in the Himalayas. Read More

    DETAILed ITINERARY

    Day 1: Car drive from Haridwar to Govind Ghat (260Km)

    At 7 a.m., meet us at the Haridwar Railway Station. To prevent any delays, please arrive a day early in Haridwar. We begin our ascent to Govind Ghat. It could take up to 11 hours to complete the journey. You’ll note the sharp bends in the road and the valley getting deeper and deeper as you drive up the Bhagirath highway, which runs alongside the Alaknanda River.

    Late in the evening, you’ll arrive at the base camp, which is situated at a height of 1920 meters. Rest for a while after the long drive to acclimate to the altitude. Before returning to your guesthouse/lodge or hotel for the night, grab a delicious dinner.

    Day 2: Trek from Govind Ghat to Ghangariya  ( 9Km)

    Start your day off right with a beautiful sunrise and a filling breakfast! After that, we begin the ascent to Ghangharia, which is at a height of 2926 meters.

    It could take up to 7 hours to complete the trek. The first part of the journey to the holy Hem Kund is motorable and generally crowded with Sikh pilgrims. Throughout the day, the trek’s landscape is a gentle incline. Until you cross the river, you’ll be walking alongside it for the majority of the way. After that, the river would be concealed from view. 

    There are plenty of restaurants and dhabas along the way, so no need to bring food for the day. You can rest and check-in at the hotel/guesthouse once you arrive. You can also go exploring in the neighborhood.

    Day 3: Trek from Ghangariya to Valley of flower and back to Ghangariya (8km)

    Start your day early in the morning and take in the breathtaking sunrise from your hotel room. After breakfast, we will begin our trek to the Valley of Flowers, which is located at a height of 3505 meters. The trek can take up to 7 hours to complete, and the terrain in the Valley of Flowers is relatively simple and level. After a short walk, you can arrive at the Valley of Flowers National Park’s gates. After getting our tickets, we reach the park and instantly note slight changes in the landscape, eventually leading to a lovely old bridge constructed over a bubbling creek.

    Following the bridge, the landscape suddenly shifts as the valley opens up on one side, exposing a breathtaking vista of a seemingly endless expanse of flowers of all colors and types! Geraniums, Himalayan Roses, Blue Poppy, Dog Flower, and a number of other flower species can be found in a variety of bright colors such as blue, red, yellow, and pink. Start your trek back to Ghanghariya after lunch for an overnight stay!

    Day 4: Trek from Ghangariya to Hemkund Sahib & back to Ghangariya (13km)

    Rise before the sun on this day for an early breakfast! Begin by preparing for a potentially challenging day ahead! On this day, you can trek to Hemkund Sahib, which is located at an elevation of 4300 meters! The trek will take up to 10 hours to complete, and the terrain will remain steep the entire time. Begin your climb up the steep path, and as the vista improves, you’ll come across a small waterfall. As you climb higher, you’ll find that the amount of oxygen in the air is decreasing. To stop altitude sickness, take plenty of breaks along the way. However, the breathtaking views will be more than enough to take your mind off the struggle.

    Take in the serenity and tranquility that pervades the place, as well as the picturesque sight of the Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara alongside the lake, when you finally arrive at the Hemkund Sahib. It’s a beautiful sight to behold, particularly when the rare Brahma Kamal appears every now and then! Start your descent to Ghanghariya after relaxing here for a while and having lunch alongside the lake. The descent will be steep and taxing on the knees, but it will be an exhilarating and energizing experience! You’ll be spending the night in Ghanghariya!

    Day 5: Trek from Ghangaiya to Govindghat

    For the descent back to base camp, get up early. We begin our descent after another beautiful sunrise and filling breakfast. The goal is to arrive early so that you have enough time to explore the surrounding areas, such as Auli, at your leisure. This is the place where you can spend the night!

    Day 6: Govindghat to Haridwar

    We begin with a hearty breakfast before departing for the long drive back to Haridwar. As your journey with us comes to an end, you will arrive in Haridwar late in the afternoon.
