The take-off point for Hemkunt Sahib is the town of Govindghat about 268 K.m. from Rishikesh. Gurudwara Hemkunt Sahib situated 17.5 K.m.from Govindghat, Chamoli district, Uttarakhand, India. The 11.5 K.m. Trek ( Gurudwara Govindghat to Gurudwara GobindDham ) is along a reasonably well maintained path to the village of Ghangaria(also called Govinddham). This path can be covered either by walk or by pony. Gurudwara Sahib here gives shelter to pilgrims. In addition there are a few hotels and a camp ground with tents and mattresses. A climb on a 6 K.m. of stone paved path leads to Gurudwara Hemkunt Sahib.
