Hemkund Sahib reopens for pilgrims

Situated at a height of over 15,000-feet, the Hemkund Sahib was reopened by religious leaders and trustees of the Gurudwara, with hundreds of pilgrims witnessing the ceremony amid extreme cold.

The pilgrimage to Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara is one of the toughest journeys and one has to take an arduous trek of 21 km to reach there.

During winters, the Gurudwara remains closed for pilgrims as the area remains snow-bound.
