Shri Hemkund sahib, the highest Gurudwara in the world is a pilgrimage place for lakhs of Sikh devotees. It is is located in the
Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. This place is dedicated to 10th Sikh guru, shri Guru Gobind Singh ji. It is written in Dasamgranth by Guru ji “where there is a sacred lake surrounded by seven huge mountain peaks called ‘Sath Nishan sahib’ there I have meditated”. It is believed that he meditated at this place in his previous janma. He then took the avatar of Guru Gobind Singh ji to kill the demons.
His devotees came in search of this place and with the help of local guide Shri Nanda Singh they found this sacred place and built
Gurudwara here in 1936.
