The Valley of Flowers Trek is one of India's most approachable Himalayan national park walks and one of the few popular routes where monsoon is the main draw. The trail usually starts from Govindghat, climbs to Ghangaria, and enters the protected valley for a day walk among alpine flowers, waterfalls, and mountain slopes. It is part of the Nanda Devi and Valley of Flowers UNESCO World Heritage property, so entry timing, permits, and conservation rules are central to the experience.
