I did this trail in peak blooming season and was absolutely blown away. The Valley of Flowers is truly a wonder — untouched nature, vibrant blooms, and serene Himalayan views.Highly Recommend: https://www.himalayanhikers.in/valley-of-flowers-trek/ The climb is challenging but every step is rewarding. Highly recommend carrying rain gear and starting early. One of the most peaceful treks I’ve ever done!
