Hemkund Trek

 

Hemkund Trek

Did you always dream of playing in the snow to your heart's content? Here is your chance to do exactly that- go for a hike in the Valley of Snow, make a snowman, have a snow fight and slide down the white blanketed slopes. Incidentally, Hemkund Sahib is the world's highest gurudwara, situated at an altitude of 4,329 mts. The Lokpal lake, on which the gurudwara is located, is a reflecting pool, mirroring the seven snow clad peaks and glaciers. On your way up, you will be trudging through forests of pine and rhododendron, making this a 'fragrantly' unforgettable experience.
