The density and diversity of blooms in the Valley of Flower National Park has been declining. “It is ‘Valley of Flowers’ in name only; shrubs and weeds dominate now,” says octogenarian Bharat Singh Chauhan of Pulna village adjacent to the valley. “There are flowers, but mostly in patches; not in the panoramic spread seen earlier. Ninety per cent of the tourists who visit the valley are disappointed with the sights,” he adds.
