Iffy Explorer's video: Reaching the World s HIGHEST GURUDWARA TEMPLE Saw Valley of Flowers

The Valley of Flowers trek in Uttarakhand, also a national park is one of the most enchanting treks I've experienced. Along with it, the Yatra to the World's Highest Gurudwara, Hemkund Sahib, & World's Highest Lakmana Temple, was an arduous journey but fulfilling. Starting from Govind Ghat, the trek spans 10-11 kilometres, leading to a stunning high-altitude Himalayan valley, part of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve. To reach the Valley of Flowers National Park, you first travel to Pulna, 3 kilometres from Govindghat, using shared taxis or personal vehicles. In Pulna, you'll need to register for the trek, which starts from there. From Pulna, the trek to Ghangharia covers 10-11 kilometres and is moderately steep in places. Along the way, there are small dhabas where you can stop for breakfast or lunch. The final leg from Ghangharia to the Valley of Flowers is more challenging, with a steep 3-kilometer ascent. The trek offers breathtaking landscapes throughout. Declared a national park in 1982 and later a UNESCO World Heritage Site, camping is prohibited inside the valley. The best time to visit is between July and September when the wildflowers are in full bloom, creating stunning views, but at that time monsoon in Uttarakhand is at its peak and can be devastating. To reach Hemkund Sahib and Lokpal Lakshmana Temple, one needs to hike 6km on steep slopes. ►I choose to do my trek with a professional trekking company @treknomads https://www.treknomads.com/ ►HELICOPTER BOOKING DETAILS can only be booked on-site which is Ghangharia travel is provided from Govind Ghat to Ghangharia and vice versa cost: 2975 INR one way Contact: +91-9412051036, +91-9412051037 Only cash accepted 00:00 Intro 00:57 Rishikesh Ganga Aarti 01:07 Witnessing Panch Prayag of Uttarakhand from Rishikesh to Joshimath 03:00 Reaching Auli 04:44 Acclimatisation Hike in Auli 06:32 Auli to Pulna 07:21 Pulna to Ghangharia Hike 10:42 Ghangharia to Hemkund Sahib Hike 15:23 Ghangharia to Valley of Flowers Hike 18:18 Things to Remember How to plan hemkund Sahib Yatra How to plan Valley Of Flower tour hemkund sahib yatra route hemkund sahib yatra हेमकुंड साहिब यात्रा 2024 valley of flowers trek guide फूलों की घाटी govindghat ghangaria trek ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ►Subscribe, Comment, Like, and Share The Iffy Explorer | Indian Travel Vlogger ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ►Let`s catch up on social media Instagram: the_iffy_explorer https://www.instagram.com/the_iffy_explorer/ ►nikzsdipa@gmail.com ►https://www.theiffyexplorer.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equipment and Software Details edited on:- Adobe Premiere Pro CC equipment:- Canon 6D MKII, GoPro Hero 9 Rode wireless mic https://www.amazon.in/shop/the_iffy_explorer?listId=1WBXH9EU7JDIA&ref=idea_share_inf TECH-RELATED VIDEOS Ligh Setup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZPcgq06YA4 Travel camera bag https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNt76SeicBk&t=9s Tripod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIJPMZEZbSM&t=73s SEE MY TRAVEL RELATED ESSENTIALS https://www.amazon.in/shop/the_iffy_explorer?listId=3KG2JPXR80FYZ&ref=idea_share_inf (This is the link to my Amazon India Storefront.
