The trek from Govidghat to Ghangaria village is common for VoF and Hemkund Saheb JI. And, have maintained properly. The trek is not only clean but also wide enough to go with a small group. You would get shops and rest points easily in the way. (Similar to Mata Vaisnodevi trek).
How to reach the Valley of Flowers, Uttarakhand?
The real trek starts from Ghangaria village. Trek is narrow and stony, you will have to take extra care in case of rainy weather. The nature views become more scenic the closer you go to the valley of flowers. But this also increases the difficulty level of the trek.
We started our trek in the early morning from Pulna Village and it took us the whole day to reach Ghangaria Village. Though we had lunch and took breaks in between the trek. Also, we had already planned to take rest for a night at Ghangaria. So, our speed was slow but if you want you can reach early by ~4 hours but depends on your speed.
