The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Valley of Flowers lies against the backdrop of the majestic Zanskar range. It resembles an artist’s canvas and is flooded with colourful hues. It is surrounded by snow-clad mountains and glaciers, and lies at the conversion point of the Zanskar and the Eastern and the Western Himalayas. The valley comes alive in the months of August and September when thousands of flowers bloom. The best way to explore the valley is via trekking. Cascading waterfalls, sparkling streams, and flowery meadows make the challenging trek rewarding.
