  Divine trek

  A trek far better than the Valley of Flowers with breathtaking views. The Khichdi at the Langar after all the trekking is food for the soul. Worth every bit of effort.

  Pilgrimage to Hemkunt Sahib

  Its a very beautiful and serene place at an altitude of approx 14500 ft. The trip from Govind Ghat (till where the motorable road ends) can be done either by walk, horseback or a chopper till Ghangaria. Ghangaria is the last habitable village before the Gurudwara. It is located approx at 10000 ft. Most people who visit Hemkunt Sahib stay the night here and climb to Hemkunt Sahib the next morning. Since the gurudwara closes at 2 pm, everyone starts around 4.30 to 5 am. It takes anywhere between 3 to 6 hours to walk up. On horseback one takes about 2.5 hours. Those who cannot walk up or sit on a horse go up by a palkhi carried by 4 men. On reaching the top, the pilgrim takes a dip in the holy lake (its freezing cold even in the summer) after which he prays in the gurudwara. All visitors are provided langar (community free kitchen) to reokenish their strength for the walk down. All along the way one can see lovely scenes with water falls and streams as well as high snow covered peaks of the Himalaya.

  Beautiful Scenic View

  I went to Hemkunt Sahib. Adorned with a beautiful scenic view, the holy place offers tranquillity away from the din of the city and into the lap of nature. It is great place to go.

  Manas Ki Jaat Sabbe Ek Hi Pehchanbo

  The steep climb from Ghangharia gives a chance for introspection. Just a suggestion that its a place for pilgrimage not picnic. The young visitors from the faith definitely needs an orientation on the behavior to be observed during the pilgrimage, right from Rishikesh upwards. Wanted to do wash the dishes at the Gurudwara Sahib but could not muster the courage to volunteer for Kar Seva, as there were many volunteers. May be next time ! Ek noor toun sab jag upjaya !
