Located in the beautiful state of Uttarakhand, this trek is full of bright flowers, green hills, fresh air, and snow-covered peaks. But is it really worth going with a trekking group like Himalaya Tribe?

Let’s find out why the Valley of Flowers Trek package with Himalaya Tribe is not only worth it—but one of the best decisions for your next Himalayan adventure.

What is the Valley of Flowers Trek?

The Valley of Flowers is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is found in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, and it blooms with hundreds of flower types during the monsoon season—especially in July and August.

The trek starts from a village called Govindghat and goes through places like Ghangaria and Hemkund Sahib. The trek distance is around 38 km and takes about 6–7 days in total.

You walk along waterfalls, cross wooden bridges, and see rare Himalayan flowers like blue poppies, cobra lilies, and brahma kamal.
