Covered : Valley of Flowers
The Valley of the flowers is one of the Natural wonders of the world,and recently
it has been inscribed as world heritage site, the Alpine Valley nestles at the
feet of majestic snowpeaks. This carpet of flowers 10 kms in length and 12 kms
in width is the abode of gods. During the rains the entire Valley is transformed
into a natural garden with an innumerable variety of alpine flowers. At the
altitude of 3,500 meters to 4,000 meters, this valley has snow lakes and glaciers,
all now preserved as national park. Nestled high in the West Himalaya, India's
Valley of Flowers National Park is renowned for its meadows of endemic alpine
flowers and outstanding natural beauty. This richly diverse area is also home
to rare and endangered animals, including the Asiatic black bear, snow leopard,
brown bear and blue sheep. The gentle landscape of the Valley of Flowers National
Park complements the rugged mountain wilderness of Nanda Devi National Park,
which was already inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1988. Together they
encompass a unique transition zone between the mountain ranges of the Zanskar
and Great Himalaya, praised by mountaineers and botanists for over a century
and in Hindu mythology for much longer. With this extension the site will be
known as Nanda Devi and Valley of Flowers National Park.
