Located to the west of the Himalayas, the Valley of Flowers is exactly that: brimming with blooms of all kinds, shapes and sizes. It is known for its meadows of endemic alpine flowers and outstanding natural beauty. A haven for rare and endangered animals, including the Asiatic black bear, brown bear, blue sheep and the snow leopard, this place has a great landscape which, in turn, complements the rugged mountain wilderness of the Nanda Devi National Park.
