Discover Valley of Flowers in an Exclusive Same Day Heli-Tour with Himalayan Heli

Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Valley of Flowers trek is one of India’s most popular treks in the Himalayan Region of Uttarakhand state, which is also one of India’s oldest known treks. It is situated at a height of 3600 m above sea level.

It is a moderate level trek with slightly longer trekking days and steep trails to Hemkund Sahib, which is not only famous among Indians, but it’s on the bucket list of foreigners as well.

Valley of Flowers National Park is believed to have been accidentally discovered in 1931, by 3 Britishers who lost their way. It is spread across 87 sq km in the Chamoli District and forms one of the two core zones (the other being the Nanda Devi National Park) of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve.

True to its name, Valley of Flowers is a place where nature blooms in full glory, offering unforgettable and mesmerizing experiences among exotic varieties of flowers. Over 600 species of exotic flowers grow here like orchids, poppies, primulas, marigolds, daisies, rhododendron, and anemones. Valley is also the home for rare wildlife species like the gray langur, the flying squirrel, the Himalayan weasel, and black bear, the red fox, the lime butterfly, the snow leopard, and Himalayan monal, to name a few.

This trek can be completed by walking through dense forests, along with the Pushpawati river, crossing many waterfalls, bridges, and glaciers. It certainly is a Legendary trail that the world wants to trek in. 

As mentioned already, it’s a challenging trek, which requires one to walk around 50 km over a period of 5-7 days. As the beauty of this valley can be experienced during the monsoon season, so the season & rain itself is some of the biggest challenges.

The good news here is, the valley of Flowers trek is now possible to experience in just a single day with Himalayan Heli. 

Visiting Valley of flowers by road from Dehradun as compared to the Helicopter Ride is quite a contrast as it’s pretty quick, comfortable, short & relaxed. The best part is, this ride is doable on the same day and suits perfectly the people who can’t take out much time to do this excursion.
