Abstract
Floristically the Himalaya is rich from Kashmir to Bhutan but nothing compares Garhwal's unique wild-flower garden, lying on the upper reaches of the Bhyundar, an eastern tributary of the Alaknanda. Eversince Smythe (1931) discovered this botanical treasure and named it the Valley of Flowers, it has aroused curiosity. Until 1975 only the nature-lovers and a few botanists trekked the sixteen kilometer uphill task) distance from Govind Ghat, a transit station, enroute Badrinath. Human visitations are on the increase, threatening nature's unique cybernetics that expresses itself in amazing cycle of growth, colour, odour. size a shape of the plants, almost 2500 in their genetic diversity. Mountain eco-systems of this micro-region need to be studied for better preservation of plant life which is bring disturbed by pony-feeding, wanton misuse of holiday makers, campers that unmindfully litter with waste and wrappers. The paper attempts to build a strategy of dressing; the Valley for recreational use. focusing on non-contact feel, nature perception and symbolic expressive typology.
