Hello Trekkers!
Wish to set on a beautiful adventure to a magnificent place nestled high in the western Himalayas?
We cannot do many treks when it rains in the Himalayas. But Valley of Flowers is a special case. The valley gets its name from the gorgeous multi-colored flowers that bloom only in the monsoons. This easy to moderate trek is a must in the bucket-list of every trekker and nature lover. It does not require any prior high altitude trekking experience which makes it one of the best treks for beginners and all age groups.
The Valley of Flowers trek takes you to the UNESCO world heritage site and the sacred site of Hemkund Sahib. The unique star-shaped architecture of the Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara blends with a mesmerizing Himalayan lake. Melodious kirtans are continuously played inside the Gurudwara, and one can sink deep into spirituality just so easily.
If the time is ripe, one may be blessed with a carpet of colors of green, yellow, red, blue, and many shades created by mother nature. These colors, the Pushpavathi river crisscrossing the valley coming out of a Glacier, with the backdrop of snow-capped Himalayas is a blissful combination to soothe your mind and refresh your soul.
Come, join Muddie Trails to experience the joy of colors in this trek to a Himalayan paradise called Valley of Flowers.
