Valley of Flowers National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Uttarakhand, India, demands a multi-day trek from Govindghat, making it inaccessible for individuals with mobility challenges. While a guide isn't strictly mandatory within the park's well-marked trails, many opt for guided packages for overall logistics. The park has strict seasonal restrictions, open only from June to October, with late July to August offering the best flower blooms; it's closed in winter due to heavy snow. A typical visit from a major city spans 5-7 days, with park entry fees ranging from ₹150-200 (Indian) to ₹600-750 (foreigners) per day, contributing to an overall trip cost of ₹10,000-₹30,000+. Visitors must stay overnight in nearby Ghangaria as no accommodation is available inside the park. Essential tips include preparing for high altitude, packing appropriate trekking and rain gear, and being aware of limited mobile connectivity.
