valley of flowers

The environment is outstanding and gives very clean and soothing air. The northern mountains and the Himalayas form natural boundaries in the North and thus protect the country from foreign invaders. They act as a natural barrier to shut off the cold winds of Central Asia and save the people from severe cold. We know that India is the land of variety and diversity. The Himalayan mountain ranges extend from Nanga Parbat in Kashmir in the West to Namcha Barwa in Arunachal Pradesh in the East for a distance of about 2500 km and a width of about 250-400 km.

Valley of Flowers trek:

Valley of Flowers trek is the easiest Himalayan trek and it has a proper path for the trekking so it is around six kilometres to the entry of the base point from there you can explore the entire valley spread across around five to six kilometres more so it is left to you how much you would like to explore. So start early so that you will get more time to spend in the valley. A long way the path is so beautiful that you would like to stand there and take some pictures flowers will start from at the starting itself so obviously we were there to capture the memories.

The weather is not pleasurable here but it is quite flattering and safe for trekking on a Valley of Flowers trekking trail. The main cause of rainfall is the cooling of air saturated with water vapour. Water vapour condenses on a large number of tiny dust particles floating in the air.

They together form clouds. These cloud droplets coalesce to form raindrops. Often very small drops of water about 0.5 mm in diameter fall on the Earth from clouds. These drops are so light that they float in the air and merely be felt. In tropical regions, clouds may attain great vertical extent. So the temperature of the cloud at the top falls below the freezing point of zero degrees Celsius.

The long path is so beautiful that you would like to stand there and take some pictures and flowers will start from the starting itself so obviously we were there to capture the memories. You have to check that your ponies are not available, that is horses are not available but baskets are there. You might see baskets for the kids or older people. The weather is very unpredictable so we entered the valley.

It was very enormous, you could see the clouds flowing from different directions and clear weather was there but after some time it did rain the clouds formed very fast and it just started raining so take an umbrella or a poncho with you and a jacket. If it rains in the Himalayas it will be very cool. The famous flower in the Valley of Flowers is the Himalayan Blue poppy which is also called the the queen of Himalayan flask.

During July there are snow patches on the trail. The trail is not technically challenging, but the total distance to cover is around 38 km 6 days. Hence good fitness is extremely important to thoroughly enjoy the Valley of Flowers. Crystals of ice are formed there. The water vapour holding capacity of air decreases if it becomes cold. The cooler the air, the lesser its moisture-holding capacity and further cooling will cause it to become saturated. At this point, the air releases the excess moisture which condenses to form dew. Therefore the point at which dew is formed is called dew point.

Conclusion

The terrain or the trek trail is marvellous and the trek begins through a base village. The rocks are scattered everywhere and there are green grasslands all over and in winter it feels like a snowy desert. The grasslands are very beautiful. There are also many flowers and alpine trees throughout the trek. At first the trek you have to cross a water section then cross a river and then you would come to a meadow place which is a green landscape surrounded from where you can see the view of numerous mountain peaks and snow-capped glaciers. It genuinely offers a marvellous camping experience. A Cup of warm tea with friends is all you need to experience the beauty of the Himalayan ranges surrounding the campsite.

The most famous and rarest is the Blue poppy flower and there are 500 species of flowers in the valley of flowers.
