Valley of Flowers Trek

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive to Govindghat, the gateway to the Valley of Flowers. Settle into your accommodation and prepare for the journey ahead. Enjoy an evening briefing with your trek leader and rest up for the trek tomorrow.

Set out early for a moderately challenging trek along the Pushpawati River, surrounded by lush greenery and waterfalls. The trail leads you through Bhyundar village and across a few bridges to reach Ghangaria, your base camp nestled at around 10,000 ft. Relax and acclimatize for the flower-filled wonders awaiting you.

This is the heart of the experience! Trek into the Valley of Flowers, an expansive alpine meadow blooming with vibrant Himalayan flora. July offers the most dazzling display—blue poppies, primulas, and countless rare species set against snow-capped peaks. Spend a few hours soaking in nature’s artistry before returning to Ghangaria.

Challenge yourself with an early morning climb to Hemkund Sahib, a sacred Sikh shrine perched at 14,100 ft beside a glacial lake. Though the ascent is steep, it's spiritually rewarding and surrounded by Brahma Kamal flowers. After paying your respects and admiring the serenity, descend back to Ghangaria.

Conclude your trek with the descent to Govindghat. From there, either rest in Joshimath or continue on to Rishikesh for a relaxed end to the journey, reflecting on the magical landscapes you’ve encountered.
