Every year on June 1st, Valley of Flowers (VoF), a UNESCO world heritage site, known for it’s over 300 species of exotic flowers, opens its door for visitors’ world over and gets closed on October 31st as it gets snow-covered after that.

However, in 2021, due to Covid-19 curfew in Uttarakhand, the valley didn’t open in June as per routine. On Tuesday, the chief wildlife warden has requested the director of VoF to open the valley which would boost state economy through tourism.


Based in Chamoli district, the administration of VoF, from Wednesday, has taken a decision to open the valley for the nature lovers.


To quote the director of Valley of Flowers Amit Kanwar, “It is compulsory for the tourists, entering the valley, to bring their covid-19 report which should not be more than 72-hour old. It can be RTPCR/TRUNET/CBNAAT/RAT Covid negative report. The tourists will have to follow all the Covid-19 guidelines laid by the state government. We expect Covid-appropriate behavior from the tourists.”


He further added by saying, “We spotted at least 50 species of flowers including blue poppy and fritillaria. Both the flowers fall under the endangered category. While critically endangered Dactylorhiza was also spotted by us. The valley is in full bloom and our staff has cleared the path to welcome the tourists.”
