The picturesque landscape will overtake the whole valley, keep your camera space ample for the memory. After a couple of kilometers of the trek, you will find the gateway of the valley has opened valley crossing a rickety bridge. The entire valley gives a tranquilized view with a 360-degree view of multiple colors of carpet spread across the valley. The mountains, trees are with green, yellow, red, blue with a brown and grey soil in the middle and at background bright snow peak, a picture perfect. The entire valley is like a fairy tale with a bright sunny day and deep blue skies and is beyond imagination. Infect it is tough to describe the beauty of the valley in words as it gives a hallucination of being in dreamland!
The valley is filled with multi-species flowers blooming, leaves and petals, buds of various shapes, sizes, colors, all like a college together. This can be a dream place of a botanical lover as one can see various types of bees and insects hovering on these unnamed and strange flowers. The beauty of this valley is that once you go deep inside your nostril will be engulfed with an amazing mystic scent. Further, the valley stretches 5-7 km deep inside and ends with a glacier which is visible from a distance. There are streams which follow all the way throughout the valley, you can drink this mountain water or if you are adventurous, you can experience the icy cold water with barefoot.
Monsoon brings many prominent flowers, the seeds which were engraved beneath the snow in winter and it’s a time of their germination. Snake Foil, Hooked Stick Seed, Meadow Geranium, Himalayan Rose, River Anemone, Blue Poppy, Dog Flower, White Leaf Hog Foot, and many more strange Himalayan flowers are the jewelry of this beautiful valley and perhaps that’s why it’s known as the valley of flowers.
