Valley of Flowers
Undertake the 6 km steep climb from Ghangaria to Hem Kund Sahib (4,633 m) — one of Sikhism's holiest shrines set beside a glacial lake ringed by seven snow peaks. The route passes through extensive rhododendron forests and alpine meadows with dramatic mountain scenery.
Hem Kund Sahib and Valley of Flowers can be done from Ghangaria on different days — two days at Ghangaria is the optimal plan. The Hem Kund Sahib lake is frozen until mid-June.
