Overview

Valley of Flowers Trek Plans

The blue primrose, often considered to be the most stunning of all Himalayan flowers, may be seen blossoming by the millions in the valley. The middle of July to the middle of August is the finest time to visit the valley to see it in full bloom.To get to the valley, one must hike from Govind Ghat, which is on the way to Hemkund Sahib, all the way up to Ghangaria, which is located 12 km further on.A little distance in front of Ghangaria, the trail that leads to the valley makes a sharp turn to the left. The valley may be reached from Ghangaria in around 5 km. Heavenly settings surround the high-altitude salt lake known as Hemkund, which sits at an elevation of 4329 metres. This location may be reached from Ghangharia in around four to six hours by a strenuous hike. It is considered a significant pilgrimage not just by Sikhs and Hindus, but also by adherents of other religious traditions. Both a Sikh gurudwara and a temple dedicated to Lakshman have been constructed on the shore of the lake. It is encircled by seven snow-covered peaks and the glaciers that are linked with them, and the waters of the lake mirror its surroundings in a way that is both fascinating and calm. This lake is fed by the glaciers that are located on Hathi Parvat and Saptrishi Peaks, and a tiny stream that is known as Himganga comes down from this lake. As mentioned in the sacred Granth Sahib, Guru Govind Singh, the tenth Guru of the Sikh religion, had once spent one of his previous lives meditating on the shore of this lake in one of his previous incarnations. It is often held among Sikhs that Guru Govind Singh was the one who first brought the characteristics that are today synonymous with the religion of Sikhism. On April 15, 1699, he established a new fraternity that would later be known as the Khalsa (meaning the pure, from the Persian word ‘Khales’), which was an inner core of the faithful and was admitted by baptism (amrit). The five K’s date back to this time period: kesh, which refers to hair that has not been trimmed, kangha, which refers to a comb, kirpan, which refers to a dagger or short sword, kara, which refers to a steel bangle, and kachh, which refers to boxer shorts.

Itinerary Details

Day 1: Drive from Haridwar to Joshimath

The first day of your trip sees you arrive in Haridwar, where you have a magnificent breakfast before catching a taxi to Joshimath. You have arrived at Joshimath after a journey of 290 km that took you 10 hours to complete. Your mind and soul will be rejuvenated by the amazing sight that you will see on the ideal road journey from Haridwar to Joshimath. Along the way to Karnaprayag, Devprayag, and Rudraprayag, you will go through a number of breathtaking valleys and hills. The confluence of the river Mandakini and the river Alaknanda is a sight to see at Devprayag. Its colour is reminiscent of emerald. The confluence of the river Mandakini and the Alaknanda is the largest of the additional three river confluences that can be found between Haridwar and Joshimath. All of the other confluences are much smaller.
Day 2: Drive from Joshimath to Govindghat and then Ghangharia trek

After a hearty breakfast first thing in the morning, get in a taxi and travel till you reach Govindghat, and then continue on for another 4 km until you reach Pulna. It is the last place along this journey that can be reached by car. A well-known pilgrimage site for the Sikh community may be found 22 km outside of Joshimath at an elevation of 1,600 metres (5,500 feet). Govindghat is positioned at an elevation of 5,500 feet. It is the community that is closest to the well-known Hemkund Sahib Gurdwara as well as the Hemkund lake. The Valley of Flowers base camp is located in Ghangaria, which is reached by hiking a distance of 9 miles from Pulna. Ghangaria is at an elevation of 10,200 feet. The journey goes along a stone route that is kept in good condition and may be completed on foot or by riding a pony at any point along the way. After a journey of five km, you will finally be able to take in the breathtaking panorama of Hathi Parvath.
Day 3: Trek from Ghangaria to Hemkund Lake and Gurudwara and then back

After a substantial meal, get your day started off on the right foot early in the morning. A 10-kilometre hike, nicknamed Hemkund Sahib Yatra, brings you to Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara and Hemkund lake. The Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara is the tallest Gurudwara in the world. It is situated at an elevation of 4,400 metres (14,200 ft). The last five km of the journey from Ghangaria to Hemkund Sahib include a strenuous ascent. A considerable number of individuals like travelling uphill riding a pony rather than walking. At Hemkund Sahib, visitors are not permitted to spend the night. It is strongly recommended that you depart Hemkund Sahib no later than 2:00 p.m. in order to make it back to Ghangaria before it becomes dark.
Day 4: From Ghangharia to Valley of Flowers trek and back

You get an early start on the day so that you may spend a sufficient amount of time in the breathtaking Valley of Flowers. The five-kilometer walk we did today does not have too many severe inclines and stays on pretty much the same level the whole time. It transports you to a valley that is adorned with unique flowers of many different colours, making it one of the most beautiful places on the planet. This vibrant landscape, which includes snow-capped mountains, puffy white clouds, and a river that meanders through the valley, resembles a painted canvas due to its combination of many colours. Due to the fact that the valley is an ecological reserve, ponies are not permitted to enter. Spend some time appreciating the splendour of this natural setting before making your way back to Ghangaria for the night.
Day 5: From Ghangharia trek to Govindghat and then drive to Joshimath

On day 5, we will begin our journey back to Govindghat, which is a 14 km and five hour long walk. Following our arrival, we make the journey back to Joshimath, where we spend the night in one of the town's many hotels or guest houses.
Day 6: From Joshimath to Haridwar drive

As you make your way back to Haridwar, you may take in the breathtaking scenery of Uttarakhand, revel in the picture-perfect vistas, and relive the memories of your six-day journey through the unspoiled Himalayan valley. This road journey will take you ten hours, but it might be the most memorable experience you've ever had in the Himalayas since you'll have the opportunity to stop often to take photographs, investigate the teeny-tiny hamlets that dot the landscape, and indulge in the magnificent Pahadi food served up at wayside dhabas.
