Lush greenery, a large expanse of colourful blooms, picturesque views, pleasant weather – this is what awaits tourists at the Valley of Flowers National Park in Uttarakhand.

The stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site, nestled in the lap of the mighty Himalayas in the Chamoli district of the state, started welcoming tourists for the season on June 1. The world-renowned destination usually remains open during the monsoon months from June to October.

The Valley of Flowers has for long attracted tourists with its alpine meadows, diverse flora and fauna, and the scenic trek that leads to the national park.
