Longstaff and Frank Smythe discoveres, for the outside world, this enchanting place by chance in 1931. The local villagers of Bhundar valley knew it as Nandakanan since time immemorial. They feared venturing  into the valley, because of the spirits and fairies those were thought to be haunting the beautiful valley. They feared that the spirits would carry them away. More than thousand varieties of flowers, ferns and Himalyan herbs grow in the valley. The most beautiful of all Himalyan flowers, the blue primula can be seen blooming in the thousands in the valley. The best time to see the valley in full bloom is from mid july to mid August. The valley is about 5kms from Ghangaria.
