Begin your Himalayan escape in Rishikesh and travel 265 km to Govindghat in a 9–10 hour drive. From there, a four-day trek leads you to the world-famous Valley of Flowers. Along the way, pass through scenic Phulna and peaceful Ghangharia, where you stay overnight. You'll witness endless meadows bursting with wildflowers before climbing to Hemkund Sahib, a sacred lake and temple complex surrounded by icy peaks.
