Will Valley of flowers open in 2014 ? What is the current Position of the Valley of flowers? Is the bridge near Ghangaria constructed to enter the valley of flowers?
This post is necessary to answer the questions of many people who want to come to valley of flowers in 2014 but saw a post on Times of India. This post stated that the Valley of Flowers may not open in 2014 at all. This is very unfortunate that one of the leading news paper is writing this type of wrong news. I could not go to Valley of Flowers personally this season till date, but I sent one of my associates to click pictures of the work done by the authorities in the area. The progress is discussed as follows.
Progress of work between Govindghat and Ghangaria.
They have done a lot of work between Govindghat and Ghangaria and in fact the current trek condition is better than the condition before the floods. They have constructed new bridges at various locations. They have constructed new bridge at Govindghat and another bridge is under construction and this bridge will be motor-able. They also have constructed a new bridge at Bhyuandar Village. Another bridge is under construction at Bhyuandar village, in case the older bridge is not able to stand the river. So there are three bridges at Bhyandar now. Pictures of these bridges along with trek are given below.












Position of the Valley of flowers? Will the Valley of Flowers open in 2014
Now the question is what is the position of the bridge which is required near Ghangaria Village to enter the valley? In fact the Times of India says that the Valley of Flowers will not open as there is no bridge. The authenticated news is that the bridge is already under construction and unfortunately the pictures of the same could not be taken by my associate. But that bridge will be constructed by June 25th as per PWD officials. Now the biggest question is about the trek after the bridge. Actually some 1.5 km trek has to be laid after the trek by forest department. As per my sources that trek will also be completed latest by July 10th, and the Valley of Flowers will be opened for general public after that.

Hello,
We are planning a visit to the VoF, possibly from the 8-10th of August. We are from Gujarat, and would like to know if the trail is going to be open or not this season? Also, your recommendation for a place to stay at Ghangaria would be very helpful.

Hi Dev
Thanks for the detailed information you provided in this website.
I am from Gujarat. I am coming to visit Hemkund Sahib and VOF in this September. I’ll be there on 5th sept. So, I want to ask you about rout. Is it open in September?
Hemkund sahib opens from 1 June to 4th Oct generally but sometimes local administration changes the date. in 2013 it was opened on 20th may itself.
Is it possible to go valley of flowers around 16th July’14, as i heard that bridge & road not yet completed.

Hello Sangwanji,
