The Valley of Flowers is a beautiful meadow located at an
altitude of about eleven thousand feet. It is the valley of the stream
Pushpavati, a tributary of Alaknanda. Frank Smythe discovered 'The Valley
of Flowers' in 1931 on his way back after a successful expedition to Mt.
Kamet. Ferns, dwarf iris, dwarf larkspur, dwarf rhododendrons, primula,
blue poppies, fritillaria, asters, potentillas, inula grandifloras and
hundreds of other species grow wild in the valley.
The Valley of Flowers is a riot of color in August/September. Well over a thousand varieties of flowers, shrubs, orchids and plants in myriad hues, differing textures and colors paint the valley in a gorgeous display. The valley is a natural plantation surrounded by the dazzling snow clad Himalayas, a feast for the botanist and amateur alike. In 1939, Miss Margaret Legge, a botanist deputed by the botanical gardens of Edinburgh arrived at the valley of flowers for further studies, While she slipped off and was lost for ever in the garden of the gods.
