The valley can be reached by a trekking trail from Mount Isii in Manipur, which was opened by MMTA (Manipur mountaineering & Trekking Association). The valley is a visual treat with its seasonal flowers, flora and fauna, the beautiful skies above and the pleasant weather.
The wide range of flowers that bloom here during each season make it the Valley of Flowers. Of all the flowers that the place flaunts, the one that stands out is the dzuko lily.
