VALLEY OF FLOWER
Lying near Badrinath, in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, Valley of Flowers is a spectacular photogenic national park that graces the Western Himalayas with its enchanting virgin beauty. Discovered back in the year 1931 by three British Mountaineers R.L. Holdsworth, Frank S. Smythe, and Eric Shipton, this beautiful valley has also been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, owing to its incredibly mesmerizing blooms encircled by mighty icy peaks.
Spread across an area of around 87.5 square miles, this unadulterated charming meadow is home to umpteen varieties of alpine flora, including flowering plants as well as medicinal herbs. The availability of medicinal plants in this valley gives the place its mythological significance, imbibing the belief in the heart of millions that the Hindu god Lord Hanuman had once collected the legendary Sanjeevani booti from here to help cure Lord Shri Ram’s brother, Lakshman.
With magnificent mountains serving as its backdrop and meandering streams flowing inside it, Valley of Flowers is also bestowed with bountiful wildlife species.
