Despite the late hour in the Valley of Flowers, a magnificent sight awaits visitors as flowers have begun to bloom in vibrant hues. Over two dozen species of colorful flowers have emerged, gradually restoring the valley’s enchanting beauty. The arrival of these blossoms has attracted a significant number of tourists, with 1243 domestic and 17 foreign visitors already making their way to this picturesque destination.
The Valley of Flowers experienced a delay in its floral display this year, thanks to unseasonal rains. As a result, the valley remained devoid of its usual vibrant blooms for a considerable period. However, nature’s resilience is now evident as the valley slowly comes alive with a burst of colorful flowers. Among them, the renowned Bluepoppy, often referred to as the Queen of the Himalayas, has gracefully blossomed, adding to the enchantment of this picturesque destination.
During the months of July and August, the Valley of Flowers showcases a stunning spectacle with approximately 300 species of blooming flowers. It is during this time that a majority of tourists flock to witness the valley’s natural beauty. Recognized as a World Heritage site, the Valley of Flowers officially opened its doors to visitors on June 1. However, upon its reopening, a challenging obstacle was encountered, as heavy icebergs had formed along two sections of the footpath, posing a unique challenge for those venturing into this picturesque haven.
To access the beauty of the Valley of Flowers, the tourists had to navigate through the midst of icebergs that had formed along the path. Spanning an expansive area of 87.50 square kilometers, this captivating valley opens its doors to visitors annually on June 1st, welcoming them to immerse themselves in its natural splendor. However, it is important to note that this picturesque destination bids farewell to tourists on October 31st.
According to Gaurav Negi, the Forest Officer of the Valley of Flowers, the valley is currently adorned with over two dozen blooming flowers. Among these are renowned species such as the Bluepoppy, Hatha Jadi, Potatilla, and Primula, which are often hailed as the Queen of the Himalayas. Additionally, it is expected that more species of flowers will soon blossom, further enhancing the valley’s natural charm.
