Dasam Granth says this is the place where Pandu Raja practiced Yoga. In addition, the Dasam Granth says God ordered Sikh Guru Gobind Singh to take bath while he was in deep meditation at the mount of Hemkunt. The Hemkund is settled at 15000ft (4329 m) above the sea level which is surrounded by the seven great mountains and there is a holy lake as well which gets frozen in winters. This beautiful holy lake is near the gurudwara sahib and devotees dip into this before entering the Gurudwara Sahib. Devotees believed that by dipping into the lake, all the sins are washed away. After September this place is inaccessible because of heavy snowfall. Usually, Hemkund Sahib Yatra is open for only 4–5 months. The Hemkund Sahib Yatra starts from June and ends in Sept/October due to a heavy snowfall zone.

You’ll find hotels, gurdwara and a small market there. To reach Hemkund Sahib you have to trek 20km from Govindghat. You can also avoid a 4 km trek by reaching Pullna village through your car/taxi. If you don’t want to trek then you can take pony or Helicopter directly to Ghangharia. Usually, devotees do this trek into two parts first-day Govindghat to Ghanghariya (14 km trek) and 2nd-day Gahangariya to Gurudwara Hemkund Sahib Ji (6–7km trek). The trek is at an easy to moderate level. The first 8–9 km are at easy, 9–14 km is also easy, but not too easy, and the next 14–20 km is at a moderate level which has steep trek and the atmospheric pressure and less oxygen at 15000 ft make it a little bit harder.</p><p class="kg kh bm bc ki b kj kk kl km kn ko kp kq kr ks kt"><strong class="ki kf">Ghangharia</strong><span> </span>is the base camp for all the devotees and travelers who want to visit Hemkund and Valley of Flower.

Your backpack must have enough space which can hold all the necessary stuff.</li><li id="db86" class="kg kh bm bc ki b kj md kl me kn mf kp mg kr mh kt ma mb mc" style="text-align:left;">It’s good to carry floaters or sandals to help you move freely at the camp or hotel. Apart from this, you should have high-quality trekking shoes. They should be lightweight, sturdy and have a good grip. When your trek is more than 10km one side then always try to buy a new pair of shoes.</li><li class="kg kh bm bc ki b kj md kl me kn mf kp mg kr mh kt ma mb mc" style="text-align:left;">Medical kit, woolen clothes, pair of T-shirts & pants, water bottle, small torch, waterproof/windproof jacket, raincoat, hand sanitizer, lip balm, and cold cream are the things which must be in your backpack.</li></ul><p></p><div><p><font><font>Originally Published on Our Website-<span> </span><b><a href="https://www.bizarexpedition.com/blog-hemkund-sahib-trek">Click Here</a></b></font></font></p></div><div><p><font><font> </font></font></p></div><div><h2>Related Packages</h2><p></p><div class="related-packages box-border clearfix topmarg10"><div class="clearfix mm15"><div class="col-sm-6 col-md-4 pd15 topmarg30"><div class="image"><p><a href="https://www.bizarexpedition.com/images/vof/1.png" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.bizarexpedition.com/images/vof/1.png?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-left" width="400" alt="1.png?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a></p></div><h3 style="text-align:left;">Valley of Flowers Uttarakhand Package</h3><div class="inc" style="text-align:left;"><ul><li> Accommodation</li><li> Breakfast & Dinner</li><li> Transport</li></ul></div><div class="price-book"><div class="pricebox" style="text-align:left;"><div class="actprice"><p></p><p>7,479/-</p></div></div><p style="text-align:left;"> </p><div class="bookbox"><p style="text-align:left;"><a class="btn btn-book" href="https://www.bizarexpedition.com/valley-of-flowers"><strong>Book Online</strong></a></p><p></p><p></p></div></div></div><div class="col-sm-6 col-md-4 pd15 topmarg30"><div class="image"><p><a href="https://www.bizarexpedition.com/admin/images/tour_locations/169/hempack.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.bizarexpedition.com/admin/images/tour_locations/169/hempack.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-left" width="400" alt="hempack.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a></p></div><h3 style="text-align:left;">Hemkund Sahib Trek Package</h3><div class="inc" style="text-align:left;"><ul><li> Accommodation</li><li> Transport</li><li> Breakfast & Dinner</li></ul></div><div class="price-book"><div class="pricebox" style="text-align:left;"><div class="actprice"><p></p><p> 17,000/-</p></div></div><p style="text-align:left;"> </p><div class="bookbox"><p style="text-align:left;"><strong><a class="btn btn-book" href="https://www.bizarexpedition.com/hemkund-sahib">Book Online</a><a class="btn btn-book" href="https://www.bizarexpedition.com/hemkund-sahib"></a></strong></p><p></p><p></p></div></div></div><div class="col-sm-6 col-md-4 pd15 topmarg30"><div class="image"><p><a href="https://www.bizarexpedition.com/admin/images/tour_locations/52/hemvof.png" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.bizarexpedition.com/admin/images/tour_locations/52/hemvof.png?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-left" width="400" alt="hemvof.png?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a></p></div><h3 style="text-align:left;">Hemkund Sahib Valley of Flowers Package</h3><div class="inc" style="text-align:left;"><p></p><ul><li>Transport </li><li>Accommodation</li><li>Breakfast & Dinner</li></ul><p>Price on Application/-</p></div><div class="price-book"><p> </p><div class="bookbox"><p style="text-align:left;"><a class="btn btn-book" href="https://www.bizarexpedition.com/-valley-of-flower-hemkund-sahib"><strong>Book Online</strong></a></p></div></div></div></div></div><p></p></div></div></div>Much Acclaimed Tokyo Begins 2018 on a High Notehttps://tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/well-awarded-city-of-tokyo-ends-2018-on-a-high-note2018-01-10T18:41:04.000Z2018-01-10T18:41:04.000ZMarian Goldberghttps://tripatini.com/members/MarianGoldberg<div><h2><i><span>The City of Tokyo, which already had more Michelin Stars than any other city in the world, was awarded top honors in 2017, </span></i><i><span>not just for its food, but for overall livability and once-in-a-lifetime experiences!</span></i></h2><p><i><span><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009221690,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="700" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009221690,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-full" alt="9009221690?profile=original" /></a></span></i></p><p><span style="font-size:8pt;"><em>Tokyo at night, featuring Tokyo Tower</em></span></p><p>Japan's capital city begins 2018 on a high note.
