Valley of flowers

Valley of flowers is a national park located in Uttarakhand, India. The valley is home to about 600 species of flowers and is known for its meadows of endemic alpine flowers and a variety of flora. It is a UNESCO world heritage site. Here nature blooms in full glory offering a breath-taking experience – this also stands testimony to the delightful impact that diversity can create. Team Atul preserves and celebrates its diversity with offices in four continents and its members belonging to different cultures, nationalities and religions, all contributing to the common goal of growth of the Company and service to humanity.
