Delhi - Hemkund - Paonta Sahib Gurudwara Tour

Gurudwara Sri Hemkund Sahib : Hemkund Sahib (also known as Hemkunt Sahib), is situated in Himalayas at Hemkund Parbat on Hemkund Lake, the "lake of ice" covered by "seven peaks" on all sides with each peak adorned by a Nishan Sahib on their cliffs. It is in Chamoli district of Uttrakhand state of India at the height of 15200 ft.

Hemkund is a Sanskrit name derived from Hem meaning Snow and Kund meaning Pond.

The route to Hemkund is covered by snow most of time of the year but is managebale to cover by foot from Ghangaria or Gobind Ghat (7 kms) from June to September end as it is Summer & Monsoon periods when snow melts for a small time. Gobind Ghat is further manageable from Govind Ghat (13 kms) on foot. For visiting Hemkund, Govind Ghat is connected with Road on Rishikesh-Badrinath Highway.

Hemkund Sahib is linked with Sri Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru of Sikhs, As per his composition 'Bachitar Natak' of 'Dasam Granth', Guru Gobind Singh is believed to have meditated in his previous life at Hemkund.

The Auto-biography of Guru Gobind Singh is interpreted as :

"Ab main apnee katha bakhaano. Tap saadhat iih bidh muhe aano.
Hemkunt Parbat hai jahaan, Sapt sring sobhit hai tahaan .1.
Satptsring teh naam kahawa. Pand raaj jahan jog kamava
teh ham adhik tapasaya sadhi. mahakaal akalka aradhi .2."

"I shall now relate my own story, how God sent me into this world. I was busy performing penance on the hills of 'Hemkunt' where seven peaks are prominent. The place is called 'Sapt Shring’ where King Pandu had performed Yoga, there I practised austerity and worshipped the god of death."

Sri Hemkund Sahib is accessible only in the summer, between June and October every year. The rest of the year, Hemkund remains covered with heavy snow.
