Orchids comprise one of the largest families of flowering plants covering 10% of the flowering plants in India. Like other parts of the Indian Himalayan Region, Himachal Pradesh also supports unique orchid flora. The location, climate, and topography of Himachal Pradesh are endowed with a rich and diverse life form. In the present investigation, extensive field surveys were conducted during 2018-2020 to study the diversity, indigenous uses, and conservation status of orchids of Kareri lake and Triund hill in Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh. During the exploration of floristic diversity, a total of 10 orchid species under 9 genera {Crepidium, Disnia, Epipactis, Goodyera, Habenaria, Herminium, Platanthera, Satyrium, Spiranthes) belonging to sub-families Orchidoideae and Epidendroideae were recorded from the study area. A major problem with fieldwork is that in the tropics in a given month, only the species (typically between 10 and 20%) are found in the flowering stage. The flowers are essential for us to describe a species, because many orchids may have similar vegetative parts (leaves and stems) while their flowers are highly different. Hence, it is preferable to explore any area for orchids during their flowering time, accordingly. In this communication, geographic distribution along with the detailed description and photographs for the recorded species are provided.
