Valley of Flowers

Valley of Flowers (3000-3600m), Uttaranchal, India. This view of the valley is looking eastwards while heading for the easy Ghunta Khal Pass (4430m - the decent from this pass to Hanuman Chatti, from bitter experience, I would stongly not recommend). The highest mountain is Hathi Parbat (Elephant Peak, 6700m).The valley was made famous by Frank Smythe. Early October 2005.

Re: Wonderful place!

Thanks, here is another picture of the Valley of Flowers . Being near to the source of the Ganges, a lot of the surrounding area including the ajoining valley, is sacred to hindus.
