Hope you enjoyed watching this episode on our journey from Mana village to Gurudwara Gobind Ghat.
Though we mentioned in the video that next day we will go to Gurudwara Shri Hemkunt Sahib but we could not go there next day.
Reason- we were there on 1st June and that was the day of opening, there were many yatri’s there plus there was risk of glacier melting as well…
Gurudwara management requested Yatri’s to stay back for one or two days and then go there…
We decided to go to Auli and then come back… You will see Yatra of Shri Hemkunt sahib in episodes to come.
For your information: Yatra for Shri Hemkunt Sahib starts from Guduwara Gobind Ghat, you can go there on your vehcile then from there you have to travel 13 km… out of which 4 km you can go on shared jeep then from there 9 km trek to Gurdwara Gobind Dham.
You should look at staying at Gurudwara Gobind Dham or at some near by hotel at Gobind Dham next day you have to trek 6 km to go to Shri Hemkunt Sahib then come back to Gobind Dham. Since oxygen level at Shri Hemkunt Sahib is low, so people are not allowed to stay back there.
For more detailed information about yatra of Shri Hemkunt Sahib, pl. See the episode of the same.
Thanks a lot
Regards
Harish bali
