Valley of Flowers National Park : Reopened

The Valley of Flowers in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district reopened to tourists for this year. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and forms one of the two core zones (the other being the Nanda Devi National Park) of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve. The valley is believed to have been discovered in 1931, when three British mountaineers – led by Frank S Smythe – lost their way and chanced upon this spectacular valley. The Valley of Flowers is located within the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, spread over an area of 87 sq.km.
