Flowers Found in Valley of Flowers
A field guide to 92 flowers of the Valley of Flowers National Park and the trail to it. Each entry gives the flower's botanical name, colour, bloom months, altitude and where it grows.
Every flower carries a label showing how we know it grows here. 79 are recorded in the valley itself, 8 on the Govindghat–Ghangaria–Hemkund route, and 5 are Himalayan species often listed for the valley that we could not find a record of there. Our main source is the park's botanical checklist from the Botanical Survey of India (1987), checked against recent photographs on iNaturalist.
