Uttarakhand’s Valley of Flowers is now open for tourists

Monday, July 5, 2021

Uttarakhand’s very famous Valley of Flowers is now open for tourists. The stunning site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, generally opening for tourism on June 1 every year. However, it was delayed this year due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Uttarakhand had imposed a curfew in June to restrict the pandemic, thereby postponing the opening of the Valley of Flowers.

Amit Kanwar, Director Valley of Flowers said, “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.”

Mr. Kanwar said that the valley is seeing full blooming season this time and is a sight to behold. The Valley of Flowers is a national park in Uttarakhand Himalayas, and is famous globally for its alping meadows and an enchanting variety of flora and fauna.
