India is known for its beautiful landscapes, from sprawling deserts to towering mountains and the lush Ghats. The valleys in the country deserve special recognition because they are breathtakingly gorgeous and unimaginably beautiful. Here are five that you should add to your spring-summer bucket list.
Darma Valley
Darma Valley, aka Darma Ganga Valley, lies between the Lassar Yangti Valley in the west and the Kuthi Yangti Valley in the east. Located in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, it provides breathtaking views of the Panchachuli peaks. The captivating Darma Valley trek is what makes the place so well-known. The hike is complex and challenging, but a worthwhile experience with beautiful waterfalls, gorgeous landscapes, and the serenity of the mountains.
Pin Valley
Despite the increase in tourism, there are still several unusual and unknown locations in the Spiti Valley. Pin Valley is one such undiscovered beauty. It is known chiefly for its Pin Valley National Park and the higher peaks which are covered with snow, like Pin-Parvati Pass and Pin-Bhabha Pass. Spiti and Pin's rivers merge at the confluence, and is a breathtaking sight to behold.
Warwan Valley
Located in Jammu and Kashmir, the Warwan Valley is a Himalayan sub-valley and a tehsil in the Kishtwar District. The valley's isolation and seclusion enhance its beauty. The valley has an average elevation of more than 85,00 feet above sea level. It is home to magnificent waterfalls, great expanses of lush meadows and pastures, massive cedar trees, and enormous stretches of densely forested terrain. In between the standing mountains, a crossover trail passes through an oasis, river deltas, and glaciers, creating an eerily lovely backdrop.
Dzüko Valley
Dzüko Valley lies between the borders of Nagaland and Manipur, and is known for untouched landscape, vistas of wild flowers, and diverse flora and fauna. The Dzüko Lily, unique to this place, is the most well-known of the valley's numerous flowers. In the summer, colourful flowers flutter in the breeze among long grasses, as rolling green hillocks lead to light blue mountain peaks. When it gets colder, the valley freezes as it gets dusted with snow. The Dzüko Valley walks in Nagaland are popular with hikers.
Nubra Valley
Covering the northernmost region of Jammu and Kashmir, Nubra Valley, is famous for its orchards, picturesque views, and monasteries. The valley is between Kashmir and Tibet, encircled by snow-capped Himalayan mountains. Nubra's main draws are the highest motorable route, and the Khardongla pass. Since it is near the Line of Actual Control, travellers must get an Inner Line Permit before visiting Nubra Valley. The valley is home to hot springs, river streams, and isolated communities.
