The picturesque beauty of the Valley

Discovery of Valley of Flowers.
In 1931, Frank S. Smythe, Eric
Shipton and R.L. Holdsworth, all
British mountaineers, lost their way
while returning from a successful
expedition to Mt.Kamet and
happened upon the valley, which
was full of flowers. They were
attracted to the beauty of the area
and named it the "Valley of Flowers."
Frank Smythe later authored a book
of the same name and the valley was
known to the world.
River Pushpawati
River Pushpawati flows through the Valley of
Flowers. It rises from the East Kamet Glacier,
near Rataban, at the base of the Himalayas near
the central part of the Garhwal-Tibet border.
It flows in a southerly direction to join the
Bhyundar Ganga near Ghagharia. The combined
stream is thereafter known as the Lakshman
Ganga. The latter merges with the Alaknanda
River at Govindghat.

CLIMATE


Being an inner Himalayan valley, the Nanda Devi Basin has a distinctive
microclimate.



Conditions are generally dry with low annual precipitation, but there is heavy
monsoon rainfall from late June to early September.



From mid April to June temperatures are moderate to cool (19°C maximum).



It has the microclimate of an enclosed inner Himalayan valley, and is shielded
from the full impact of the southwest summer monsoon by the Greater
Himalaya range to its south.



Both Basin and Valley are usually snow-bound for six to seven months
between late October and late March.

Epilobium Latifolium. This flower looks very beautiful and is found on river
banks.

yellowish in colour and we will find more of berries then flowers.
Joan Margaret Legge Grave
In the deep inside the valley a grave has made in loving
memory of Joan Margaret Legge.
She was a botanist deputed by the Royal Botanic
Gardens, Kew, arrived at the valley to study flowers and
while traversing some rocky slopes to collect flowers, she
slipped off and lost her life. Her sister later visited the
valley and erected a memorial near the spot.
