Picturesque in its beauty and famous for its charming meadows of alpine flowers, the park has a diverse range of flora. Our naturalists, along with regional botanists, will guide you through this World Heritage Site, situated at an altitude of 3,250m to 6,750m, offering mountains, meadows, and spectacular views with the river Pushpawati flowing through the conical shaped vale. Lush alpine meadows were crisscrossed by shepherd trails and punctuated by waterfalls. When Smythe, one of the first European mountaineers, stumbled upon this valley with its profusion of flowers, he became so profoundly affected that he gave Bhuindhar its now famous name. His subsequent writings on the valley evoked a great deal of interest among people, both at home and abroad. The valley is full of high Himalayan flowering herbs. Some of the most conspicous flowering plants that visitors can enjoy are Purple Ipomea, Staurt’s Primrose, Musk Thistle, Stalked Gentiana, blue and yellow Himalayan poppies, Himalayan Lily, and Himalayan Rose.
