Its monsoon here in uttarakhand now, so going towards joshimath would be not preferable. you should plan your trip around mid august when monsoon is in descending phase. Your route will be Delhi - Haridwar(check out utconline for uttrakhand bus timings) - Joshimath(will be an overnight stay at joshimath) - Shared jeep to Govinndghat (1 hr) - 11-12km trek from govindghat to ghangaria - overnight stay at ghangria - then next morning 3km to valley of flower. you can come dow on same day or you stay 1 more day and visit hemkund sahib which is also 4km from ghangria.
