  Introduction to Valley of Flowers Nestled deep in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, the Valley of Flowers is one of India's most breathtaking natural treasures. Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005, this high-altitude Himalayan valley sits at an elevation of 3,352 to 3,658 metres above sea level, cradled between the rugged peaks of the Zanskar and Great Himalayan ranges.

Ranthan Kharak has none o...
