Ghanghariya is a beautiful small village situated near Puspawati river. It is a stopover for trekkers as it leads to the famous pilgrimage of the Sikh community Hemkund Sahib. Also, It is just 3km away from UNESCO certified Indian heritage site – Valley of Flowers. The village is filled with maximum Sikhs pilgrims as Hemkund Sahib is where Guru Gobind Singh Ji meditated In his past life. Also in the trek of Hemkund Sahib, a downward trek leads to Valley of Flowers which is situated approx 3km trek distance from Ghangharia village. There are about 500 species of flowers found in the Valley of Flowers. The area was also declared a national park area. The last entry time is 2 pm so that you can come back before 5 pm because of dangerous animals like bears and yaks could be found in the valley.
