VALLEY OF FLOWERS NATIONAL PARK (3352m to 3962m)
While on an expedition to Mt. Kamet, Frank S. Smith, an English mountaineer, explorer and botanist, discovered the valley of flowers. Bustling with beautiful, lively and vibrant colours, this park spread over an area of 85.50 sq km has the largest collection of wild flowers species. More than thousand varieties of flowers, ferns & Himalayan herbs grow in the valley, known as Nandankanan.
Legends associate this valley with the area from where Hanumanji of Ramayana collected "Sanjeevani Buti" herb to revive Lakshman. As though created by nature itself, the beauty of the park is enhanced by the Pushpawati River flowing in the vicinity overlooked by the towering Rataban Peak in the background.
