What makes Hampta Pass the Valley of Flowers in Himachal Pradesh?
The Hampta Pass Trek is known for its stunning valley of various flowers. Notably, the abundance of flowers on this trek has led some of our experienced guides to consider it even more impressive than the famous Valley of Flowers trek in Uttarakhand.
Nestled between the Chikha and Balu Ka Ghera campsites lies a picturesque meadow called Jwara. This lovely green space is decorated with a captivating array of blooming flowers. While traversing the numerous babbling streams in the area, keep an eye out for yellow Marigolds growing along their banks. This is just a glimpse of the beauty that awaits. As you explore the Jwara grassland, you’ll be treated to a stunning Himalayan Blue Poppy and Pink Hill Geranium display, adding vibrant colours to the landscape.
The valley is a sight to behold during July and August, boasting an array of vibrant wildflowers that blanket the landscape. The camping experience here is truly unforgettable, especially when surrounded by the stunning pink hues of the Hill Geraniums that carpet the campsite. The scenery is reminiscent of the iconic Beatles song, “Strawberry Fields Forever,” making Jwara a must-visit destination for any camping enthusiast.
I’ll leave you with a fresh bouquet from the breathtaking Hampta Pass Trek.
I recommend you embark on this trek to witness these flowers firsthand in their natural environment.
