Hi,
Valley of Flowers is like a heaven on earth…so its a must visit in case you are interested in trekking the Northern India.
Best Season June – Oct (flowering is at its best in September)
Distance From Delhi Appx 500 Kms
Route
Delhi – Rishikesh – Joshimath – GovindGhat – Ghangaria – Valley of flowers
Trek
Govindghat – Ghangaria – Valley of Flowers Trekking (14 + 5 Kms)
There are many ways to reach till GovindGhat lemme count some pointers for you:
)
1. Reach Rishikesh Around 250 Kms from Delhi by Train/Bus/Car
After Rishikesh is when the hilly terrain starts
If you are a Biking enthusiast then you can also hire a Bike from Rishikesh.
2. Hire a Car/Taxi/Bus from Rishikesh to Govindghat…Takes about 7-8 hrs in car.
3 You can easily get an acco in joshimath or Govindghat.
4. Nice places to see on the trip includes Auli (Best skiing destination in India -winters only
5. Badrinath holy Hindu shrine is a small drive from Govindghat..if u are one of those religious kinds.
Rest all is cool…njoy the trip and do send us the pics…
post back if anything specific is required
there is another alternative route to valley of flowers …
from Joshimath , its usually to govinghat and then Ghangaria followed by the valley ..
But actually the trek from Govindghat to Ghaghria (14 Kms aprox. )is very crowded .. because it is also a pilgrimage rote to HemKund Sahib (it is also a beautiful Place … be ware though you will have to cross a huge Glacier)
So the other route is from HANUMAN CHATTI…
from joshimath .. u reach Hanuman Chatti . n go straight to the valley n then to ghanghria. The problem is u wont find any village in between n most probably u will be the only one !!
But if u like adventures n wanna escape the crowds into the beauty of Uttarakhand then id say you go for it !!
Heyy Advait,
That seems to be a beautiful option, I had no idea there was an alternative route to the valley of flowers…I went by the conventional route….eeeeeh…now I’ll have to go again
Thanks
Hey …saw this thread nice one..
Any idea what is the earliest time we can start off from ghangaria to the valley of flowers and also what is the entry fee…
I was told that foreigners are charged more than indians for the entry..why a discrimination…?
