The Valley Of Flowers

Description

Located in the foothills of the Himalayas in the State of Uttarakhand, the valley of flowers is considered heaven on earth especially from Mid-July to Mid-August when the alpine flowers and the flora are in full bloom. Known for its gentle meadows, it was here that the Hindu God Lakshman is said to have meditated and King Pandu to have performed Yoga. It is also at this mystical spot that the Sikhs tenth Guru, Sri Guru Gobind Singh, is believed to have meditated in his previous life thereby achieving union with God.

This is the place where Hanumanji found the medicinal herb “Sanjeevanji” which saved Laxmanji, younger brother to Lord Ramji, after being gravely wounded in the battle against the son of Ravan. It is believed that the Gods showered flowers from Heaven in celebration of Hanuman’s miraculous effort, and henceforth, these flowers took root in the Valley.
