Valley of Flowers Trek This trek would take you to the most famous area for wildflowers in the Himalaya. Unlike the other treks, it is best done during monsoon season

as the flowers are in full bloom this time of the year.

beautiful surrounding makes the trek worth taking. The trail starts in the dense oak and rhododendrons forests before emerging above tree line where trekkers can get magnificent views of the giant peaks of Trishul, Nanda Ghunti and Badrinath.

Rupin Pass Trek Towering waterfalls, pristine views, and flower-laden meadows ensure that this is the trek meant to leave everyone happy. The trail starts from the small village of Dhaula and over the course of 6 days, one reaches Rupin Pass.

and Rhododendron trees which blossom in April. The state of Uttarakhand is blessed with enormous natural splendor. Every trek in Uttarakhand has its own exhilaration and attraction.
