This is the first summer when I have trekked twice and I think I am going to make it a habit. In this post I am collating all my Valley of Flowers and Hemkunt Sahib Trek links and also sharing a few more pictures.
Traveling to Rishikesh and Joshimath (Day 1 &2 of the trip)
Rest Day at Joshimath (Day 3 of the trip)
Trekking from Govinghat to Ghangaria (Day 4 of the trip, day 1 of the trek)
Trekking from Ghangaria to Valley of Flowers (Day 5 of the trip, Day 2 of the trek)
Trekking from Ghangaria to Hemkunt Sahib (Day 6 of the trip, day 3 of trekking)
Trekking from Ghangaria to Govindghat (Day 7 of the trip, day 4 of trekking)
It took me two more days to get back to Delhi, day 8 was Joshimath to Haridwar and day 9 was from Haridwar to Delhi.
By clicking on the links you can read a detailed account of that day’s trip or trek.
Wow! Looks lovely but sounds really tiring.
Beautiful clicks.

Qaminante Everest Base Camp Trek was even more tiring 😀
Thanks Niranjan.
I have been wanting to explore Uttarakhand and now you’ve just made this easier! The pics look beautiful. Will check the links too, thanks a ton.
Sanand I hope you do explore Uttarakhand.
Hi! I read with interest your hiking trip to VOF. One day I would like to do this too with my wife. We are avid hikers and have hiked up and down the Grand Canyon in Arizona among other places. I would like to know what would be the best time of the year to go to VOF.

Hi Raj,
The flowers are in bloom from late July to Mid August. However different flowers bloom at different times and some would say even early September would also have some flowers. Hope this helps a bit 😀
Hi,
I would like to know if there is any possibility of setting up our own tent instead of living in a hotel.
Amar I didn’t inquire about that one. You can stay in the local gurudwara for sure.
nice to hear your views, the timelines are a big help, i travel a lotand find your comments useful
Thank you so much!
