Valley of flowers5: the flowers are heavenly scented. If you cross from nearby also you will feel that something has been sprayed on your nose & if you go nearby and smell it will directly hit your head. Really a very sweet & heady smell. 
Valley of flowers is at an altitude of around 4000 mtrs. and having an extremely cold snowy weather. The photo was taken in June 2007. Hope this will help

Nice plant indeed. I can feel the cold atmosphere in the area. Two Donald ducks of different colours stand tall amongst the green flora of Himalayan summer which is otherwise covered with snow I suppose.
I had photographed similar plant from the area.
Yes it was chilling and windy.
On this point while standing you can see three different ranges. On the front is extension of greater himalaya range. On right is the peer panjaal range and on left the trans himlaya....
It was a great experience. I almost walked 15 kms that day with umbrella and camera in rain. Umbrella was just to save my camera.
