Gurudwara Hemkund Sahib, located in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, India, stands at a height of 4,632 meters (15,200 feet). The Gurudwara is surrounded by seven mountain peaks, each with a Nishan Sahib flag on its cliff. According to the holy Guru Granth Sahib, it is believed that Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Sikh Guru, used to meditate by the serene Hemkund Lake during one of his earlier incarnations.
To reach this sacred place, visitors must trek from Gobind Ghat, (located along the Rishikesh-Badrinath highway) leading up to Hemkund Sahib. This gurudwara holds deep spiritual significance for Sikhs and is home to the beautiful Lokpal Lake, situated at 4,329 meters above sea level. The stunning natural surroundings make it perfect for a peaceful and refreshing visit. The trek from Gobind Dham (Ghangaria) to the lake is challenging yet enjoyable, offering a unique experience amidst breathtaking scenery.
