About the place:
Valley of Flowers National Park is an Indian National
Park, located at a height in West Himalaya. It is renowned for its meadows of
endemic alpine flowers and the variety of flora found there. It is located in
Uttarakhand state. This richly diverse area is also home to rare and endangered
animals, including the Asiatic black bear, snow leopard, brown bear and blue
sheep. The gentle landscape of the Valley of Flowers National Park complements
the rugged mountain wilderness of Nanda Devi National Park to the east. Together
they encompass a unique transition zone between the mountain ranges of the
Zanskar and Great Himalaya. The park stretches over an expanse of 87.50 km˛.
Both parks are encompassed in the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve (223,674
ha) which is further surrounded by a buffer zone (5,148.57 km˛). This Reserve is
in the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves since 2004.
The Valley of Flowers is a high-altitude Himalayan
valley that has been acknowledged by renowned mountaineers and botanists in
literature for over a century.
