    The Valley of Flowers located in Uttarakhand state is one of the pristine biospheres which is located in India. It is all flowers as far as eyes can see, as varied as it can be in size, colour and shape. The gentle streams flowing down from the mountains, picturesque meadows, distant snow peaks contrasting the green mountains make the place scenic. The occasional mist makes the place even more beautiful.
