It&#8217;s buried under snow for most of the year, but once the monsoon hits, the valley absolutely explodes into color. By mid-July and August, you&#8217;ll find primulas, anemones, irises, and countless wild blooms blanketing the misty Himalayan floor. It&#8217;s less about ticking off tourist spots and more about wandering through a massive, wild garden.<\/p>\n<p>Reaching here:  Drive to Govindghat from Haridwar or Rishikesh. From there, trek about 13\u201314 km to the base village, Ghangaria. The valley is another 4 km walk. You can&#8217;t camp inside the valley and must head back before evening. Bring proper trekking shoes and rain gear, the trails get super muddy and slippery!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/life-style\/travel\/destinations\/8-indian-destinations-that-come-alive-after-monsoon-rainfall-and-how-to-reach-them\/photostory\/131389384.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Very few places transform quite like this UNESCO-listed park hidden high above Joshimath.
