In valley of flowers………
These people came from USA to visit valley of flowers but were not lucky enough to reach Pushpawati river bed as visibility was very low. Though they were very happy to see whatever was visible. You should at least take a day or two extra while going to valley of flowers, especially in rainy season. You can observe some beautiful flowers in background. When you visit valley of flowers you need to be lucky, to see some beautiful landscapes as during rainy season valley of flowers is full of clouds for some of the days. When you will be able to see peaks and rivers only for a while, when the clouds gets away.
