Hello.
How are you all my dear friends? I hope you are all well. In today's post I have shared with you Photographs of Unforgettable moment spent in the lap of nature. These photographs are captured in the camera during the Valley of Flowers trek. The area is surrounded by beautiful mountains and valleys. Due to which the innumerable beauty of nature can be seen here.
Valley of Flowers and Nanda Devi National Park, together, constitute the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve. The Valley of Flowers was declared a National Park in 1982 and was included in the list of World Heritage sites by UNESCO in 2005. Initially known as Bhyundar Valley, the nature’s wonder was renamed in 1931 by British mountaineer Frank S Smythe.
However, the valley was known to the locals who used it as a pasture for their cattle. The valley was discovered when British mountaineer Frank S Smythe chanced upon it in 1931 while returning from an expedition to Mount Kamet. He named the place Valley of Flowers and also wrote a book with the same name. The highest point of the park is Gauri Parbat, about 6719 meter above mean sea level.
The Valley of Flowers is also believed to be the place from where Hanuman brought the magical herb to resuscitate Lakshman in the Hindu epic Ramayan. The legend still holds value as many people continue to believe that Sanjeevani, the magical herb, continues to grow in the park. Still pristine and enchanting, there are other legends associated with the park. Locals believe it is the playground of fairies and that they descend to the valley in the absence of humans.
The sight of a whole valley covered with flowers of every hue and colour does indeed give it a magical quality. More than 650 species of flowers including Brahmakamal, Blue Poppy and Cobra Lily can be found in the park.
The Valley of Flowers presents a different look each day when it becomes accessible from May to September. There are no human settlements inside the national park and grazing has been completely banned.
The Valley is accessible from last week of May after the snow melts. After the snow melts and the monsoons begin, the plants begin to bloom in July and August. In September, the plants prepare for over eight-months of hibernation. By the end of September, the valley is again carpeted under snow.
This richly diverse area is home to rare and endangered animals, including the Asiatic black bear, snow leopard, brown bear and blue sheep. The valley is also home to several fauna like Himalayan musk deer, yellow-throated marten, snow leopard, blue sheep, black and brown bears. You can also find a wide variety of birds here, like Himalayan golden eagle, snow partridge, Himalayan snow cock, Himalayan monal, snow pigeon and sparrow. Numerous species of butterflies and insects too can be found here.
