  • We get this question a lot, "what is the best time to do the Valley Of Flowers trek?" In this video, Swathi Chatrapathy shares everything you need to know about it.
    In a nutshell, the Valley of Flowers trek opens during monsoon, precisely from June to September. In these months, there are two ways to experience this trek.
    If you truly want to witness the flowers in their full bloom, then July or August is the best time. Please note that the valley also receives maximum rainfall during this time.
    If you want to witness a lush green valley, plan your trek in June or September. The quantity of flowers may be slightly less. But the chances of experiencing clearer weather are considerably higher during these months.
    Choose your best time based on how you would like to experience the Valley of Flowers trek -- in a burst of floral colors or as a lush green paradise

    My personal experience no need to go with any company, diy this trek all facilities at ghangharia just be fit. Choose best available camps or lodge and food as per your wish at ghangharia. Don't get restricted by non sensical trek leader or unfit trek group and trek till last point in valley. I went with ih in July, got bad experience (room and food) and toxic company. They just charge most with least quality of service provided.trek leader does biased behavior with people in same group. Other companies have covered more trek and with better atmosphere in group. While india hikes staff was too patronizing without respect to trekkers doing good.i was left and forgotten ,had to cover on my own.

    About 14 years back, I had to return half way from a local trek due to low fitness. That hampered my confidence which created a fear about trek and dented my self confidence. But I love nature. What do you suggest to overcome this mental block ? Also what fitness regimen you suggest. I currently swim thrice a week for about a km and walk twice a week for about 5 kms and do some lunges etc

    • @Indiahikes
      @Indiahikes  Рік тому +1

      Hi. To do this trek comfortably, you must be able to cover 5km in under 35 minutes. This is the minimum fitness required for this trek.

    Hi Swati....thanks for the wonderful videos, they are full of useful information....I have 2 questions : 1) We are planning to go on 29th September, will flowers be there or by that time they are all gone? 2) I want to take my 6 yr old son also, is the climb to Gangharia and beyond doable for a 6 yr old?

    • @Indiahikes
      @Indiahikes  11 місяців тому

      Thank you Abhishek and I am glad you liking the information on our videos :)
      1. Towards the end of September there will be very less flowers but there are chances to see a few flowers scattered across the valley.
      2. 6 year old can do the trek provided the child is active. There are multiple rest points on the way. So I think it won't be an issue. Just that they might take more time than expected. You can take a call at Gangharia whether to take him ahead or not.

    • @Indiahikes
      @Indiahikes  7 днів тому +1

      Hi, August is definitely a good time to do the Valley of Flowers. In August, monsoon clouds hang low and wash over the entire valley. Maximum flowers in the valley bloom during this period. While you get a good amount of rain at Govindghat during this time, at the higher altitudes it turns into a drizzle.
      The only downside of trekking in August is the huge number of crowds that fill the trail. If you time your trek on weekdays, you will find fewer trekkers. However, the trail is completely filled on holidays.
