What? Did Vardhini go to the Valley of Flowers in *May*? (I think that was when she started planning her trip, and she went only in September or something. I don't remember.) I don't think the valley is even accessible until late June; in July I still had to wade through some snow to get in, and plenty more higher up the valley. And there certainly won't be many flowers in May. > We are visiting Binsar Nat'l Park, Munsiyari and Corbett Cool. I'm going to Munsiari slightly earlier in May. Personally, I think it would be too ambitious to try and do both Munsiari and the Valley of Flowers in the same ten-day trip, even if there had been any flowers to see. (Are you driving? Renting a taxi?) Look out for Koklass Pheasants and nesting Spot-Winged Tits in Binsar, by the way. > After posting on Bangalore LJ, I find myself constantly checking if my > post is "appropriate"!!
