If you’re into serious adventure, the 5-day trek to the inner sanctuary is unforgettable. Starting from Lata village (25 km from Joshimath), you’ll pass through thick forests, glacial streams, high meadows, and steep gorges. It’s not for beginners, but the views are worth every step.
Just a short trip from Nanda Devi, the Valley of Flowers is another must-see. During the rainy season, it transforms into a vibrant field covered in rare and exotic blossoms. Many travelers do both treks in one trip.
The park is home to some amazing Himalayan creatures. You might spot snow leopards, musk deer, bharal (blue sheep), Himalayan tahr, and both black and brown bears. Birdwatchers will love it too—over 100 bird species call this place home.
Expect stunning views everywhere you look—from the Rishi Ganga Gorge to hanging glaciers, misty waterfalls, and thick alpine woods. It feels wild, untouched, and completely remote.
While you can’t climb the peak, it dominates the skyline and is visible from many trekking spots.
Just as magical as it sounds. It opens in early June and is in full bloom by July or August.
A dramatic slice through the mountains—wild, deep, and breathtaking.
