Hemkund Sahib is one of the most charming and pilgrimage site of Chamoli district in northern India. This place of Uttarakhand is considered as a holy place for Sikh religion. At a height of 4636 mts, this religious site is nestled on the lap of Garwal Himalayan range. Sikh pilgrims arrive at Hemkund Sahib to help the renovation work of the damaged road over the winter months first. This tradition is actually known as ‘Kar Seva’ or selfless service, which is a significant concept in the Sikh faith.
The word Hemkund literally means ‘Lake of snow’ and the spick-and-span water of the Hemkund Lake is actually as cold as snow. The star shaped Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara near the Hemkund Lake is visited by thousands of Sikh devotees every year.
