Valley of Flowers - National Park (3352m
to 3962m) Trekking
While on an
expedition to Mt. Kamet, Frank S. Smith, an English mountaineer,
explorer and botanist, discovered the valley of flowers. Bustling with
beautiful, lively and vibrant colors, this park spread over an area of
85.50 sq Km has the largest collection of wild flowers species. More
than thousands varieties of flowers, ferns & Himalayan herbs grow in the
valley, known as Nandankanan.
Legends
associate this valley with the area from where Hanuman ji of Ramayana
collected Sanjeevani Buti herb to revive Lakshman. As though created
by nature itself, the beauty of the park is enhanced by the Pushpawati
River flowing in the vicinity overlooked by the towering Rataban Peak in
the background.
