About: The valley is believed to have been discovered in 1931, when three British mountaineers—led by Frank S. Smythe—lost their way and chanced upon this spectacular valley. Attracted by the beauty of this place, they named it the “Valley of Flowers”. With a stunning backdrop of the mighty Himalayan ranges, the Valley of Flowers National Park presents an ethereal view and an unforgettable experience for visitors. Valley of Flowers is a destination where nature blooms in all its glory, offering a breathtaking experience. Exotic flowers (over 600 species) like orchids, poppies, primulas, marigolds, daisies, and anemones are an eye-catching spectacle. Sub-alpine forests of birch and rhododendron cover parts of the park’s area. The trek to the valley offers eye-catching spectacles like cascading waterfalls and wild streams.
