Snow stays frozen for 6 months…
Actually, this sacred place of Sikhs, Hemkund Sahib is located in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. Its height is 15200 feet. Here the snow remains frozen for 6 months. This time too, there is plenty of snow, only the Gurudwara Shri Hemkund Sahib Management Trust looks after all the arrangements of the Gurudwara here. The journey involves a 20-kilometer general climb and plane route to be set on foot or on horses.
After that the grueling 6 km route from Gurdwara Gobind Dham to Gurdwara Sri Hemkund Sahib passes through the mountains. Due to snow on the mountains, horses get up to three kilometers, but the climbing partner has to decide himself further. While climbing the mountains, one gets tired and completely refreshed after bathing in the lake of the Sangat holy place.
