Trek to Valley of Flowers
A travelogue which can tell you how to go there on a limited budget
This is a travel account of the trip to the Valley of Flowers, made by Thingnam Girija, N. Ulysses and Tabish, basically to find Himalayan flowers, for the website, Flowers of India.
Valley of Flowers is a fairy-land situated high in the Himalayas of the Uttaranchal, at an altitude of 3,600 meters above the sea-level, protected by snowy mountains. Unknown to humans, for centuries this enchanting valley lay frozen during the colder months, and burst into its youthful beauty every year, as the snow melted with the advent of summer. Every year, the valley was splashed with color as it bloomed with hundreds of kinds of flowers, taking on various shades of colors as months progressed. Finally one day, nature condescended to bless humans with this heavenly sight, when Frank Smith - mountaineer, explorer, botanist - chanced upon it in the monsoon of 1931. He authored a book called "The Valley of Flowers" which unveiled the beauty and floral splendours of the valley and made the world sit up and watch. It was declared a national park in 1982, and now it is a World Heritage Site. The locals, of course, always knew of the existence of the valley, and believed that it was inhabited by fairies.
The valley is home to many celebrated flowers like the Brahmakamal, the Blue Poppy and the Cobra Lily. It is a much sought after haunt for flower-lovers, botanists and of course trekkers, for whom a sufficient excuse to embark on a mission to reach a place, is that it exists!
This article is a travelogue aimed to guide newbies about how to reach Valley of Flowers

Adventure in India
Travelling in India can be the ultimate adventure. Furthermore it's geographical diversity which allows for a wide range of trips to be planned from Trekking on Himalayan ranges or from Tea State of Darjeeling; to riding on camel back in Rajasthan or Bicycle Adventure to Horse Safari, to Rafting on Ganga or onto Jeep Safari in Spiti Valley - Our trips are designed to allow one to sample a small range of this diversity.
Trekking In India
Himalayan ranges are ideal for Hiking, Adventure, Trekking and Camping offering energetic out-door people a different and exciting option for a Adventure holiday. The Garhwal and Kumaon regions of Uttaranchal are the most popular destinations for trekkers, though Chamba and Manali in Himachal Pradesh, Dajeeling & Sikkim himalayas in the north east and Ladakh and Zanskar in Jammu and Kashmir, have interesting trekking routes as well.
