Nestled in the lap of the majestic West Himalayas, the famed Valley of Flowers of Uttaranchal is an alluring vale offering bounties of rare vibrantly colored Alpine Flora and many mesmerizing colorful Himalayan flowers that leave nature lovers and botanical enthusiasts from different corners of the globe literally spell-bound. This beautiful valley falls in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand and is often counted as one of the best National Parks of India. If you wish to enjoy the heavenly sight of the flowers growing in the valley in their full blooms, try to visit Valley of Flowers between mid July-mid August. That is actually the blooming season in the Valley of Flowers because buds start unfurling as soon as the snow melts away. The sacred Hemkund Sahib, now also looked upon as the fifth dham stands amid the sprawling vale and the unique star shaped architecture of Hemkund Sahib along with a concrete masonry structure replete with swaying Lotus blooms adds to the emerald beauty of the grassy valley studded with colorful flowers. Myths hold that it is from here where Hanuman Ji gathered the Elixir of life-the Sanjeevani buti for getting Lakshmana cured.
