Valley of Flowers
Bustling with beautiful, lively and vibrant colors, this park spread over an area of 87.5 km has the largest collection of wild flower species. Hidden from the probing eyes of civilization, this valley had been known to the inhabitants as the Bhiyundar valley. Legend associates this valley with area from where Hanumanji of Ramayana collected 'Sanjeevani' herb to revive Lakshman.
As though created by nature itself, the beauty of the park is enhanced by the Pushpawati River flowing in the vicinity overlooked by the towering Rataban peak in the background. More than 300 species of wild flowers like the Himalayan blue poppy, daisy, dianthus, calendula, white and yellow anemones bloom and swing with life during the monsoons.
