The Forest Department checkpoint located less than a kilometre from Ghangaria is the place where the Valley of Flowers officially begins. You need to deposit the fees here to obtain the permit for traversing inside VOF. For obtaining the permit, you need to produce your identification cards like driving license, voter ID, passport size photograph along with a medical certificate ensuring that you are physically sound for the trek. Plan your trip accordingly as camping is prohibited inside VOF and the park only remains open from 6 AM to 6 PM.
