Valley of Flowers is a high-altitude Himalayan valley that is known for its colourful endemic flowers. It has been recognised internationally for over a century, and finds mention in the Hindu scriptures. Its diversity of alpine flora has been attributed to its location in the transition zone between the Great Himalayas and Zanskar and the Eastern and Western Himalayas. Some of the flora recorded here is not even found in the adjoining Nanda Devi National Park, and the diversity of threatened plants, medicinal or otherwise is the highest in any other Indian Himalayan protected areas.
