India is blessed with some of the most unique and valuable natural heritage, including vast stretches of seasonal wildflowers that bloom only on rare occasions. These wildflowers are predominantly found in protected areas and national parks. One such famous national park is the Valley of Flowers National Park, situated in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand.
The Valley of Flowers was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2005. One of the two core zones of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, it was discovered by three British mountaineers in 1931. The valley is known for its breathtaking beauty, re-opened to visitors on June 1, 2025, and is perfect for a summer holiday immersed in nature.
