There are almost endless lush green meadows, wild alpine flower gardens, scraggy mountains, majestic snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and gushing streams and waterfalls. To top it off, this valley has a culture that is unlike any other mountain or plains area. It is fascinating, ancient, old, and time-tested. Our guides make sure that we get a closer look at this culture, as it is one of the trek’s highlights. The Govind Wildlife Sanctuary & National Park is located in the Garhwal Himalayas.
