Hemkund Sahib Yatra Ex Dehradun
Pilgrimage Tour
03 Nights / 04 Days
Govindghat, Ghangaria, Hemkund Sahib Trek
Situated at a staggering altitude of 15,225 ft, Shri Hemkund Sahib is a highly revered Sikh pilgrimage site dedicated to the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji. The Gurudwara is beautifully nestled beside a crystal-clear, star-shaped alpine lake, which is completely surrounded by seven majestic, snow-capped mountain peaks. The spiritual aura here is incredibly powerful.
The pilgrimage is not just a journey of faith, but also a test of physical endurance. It involves a 10 km trek from Govindghat to the base camp at Ghangaria, followed by a very steep 6 km ascent to the Gurudwara. The pathway is lined with dense forests, waterfalls, and blooming alpine flowers. For those unable to trek the entire distance, pony rides and helicopter services (up to Ghangaria) are available.
Ghangaria serves as the crucial base camp for both the Hemkund Sahib Yatra and the famous Valley of Flowers trek. Located at the confluence of the river Bhyundar Ganga and Pushpawati, it is a bustling little settlement available only from May to October. All pilgrims rest here before making the final push towards the high-altitude shrine early the next morning.
We manage your entire pilgrimage tour with premium private transport from Dehradun, well-located cozy hotel accommodations in Govindghat and Ghangaria, and daily hot breakfast and dinner spreads. Trust our hills-trained driver-guides to navigate the winding Himalayan roads securely while you focus entirely on your spiritual journey.
