Ab mae apni katha bakhano.
(Now I narrate my own tale)
Hemkunt parbat hae jahan. Sapat sring sobhit hae tahan.
(Hemkunt Mountain is auspiciously situated among “Sapat Sring”, a mountain-chain of the Himalyas
Tah hum adhik tappasia saadhi.
(At that site I meditated heavily on God in the previous birth)
Tin prabh jab aais muhe dia. Tab ham janam kalloo meh lia.
(When the Almighty allowed me then I took birth in the dark age)
On the basis of the aforesaid holy composition uttered by Guru Sahib and with the Sikh Sangat’s assistance some Gursikhs (the true Sikhs) Sant Sohan Singh ji Tihri wale, Hawaldar Modan Singh ji, Bhai Vir Singh ji etc. started the research work of this holy place Hemkund Sahib.

These includes items which are necessary for the journey ahead like walking sticks, plastic rain coats sturdy shoes , caps, saropas (scarves tied on the heads like bandas) and even clothing items to ward off the cold.

Besides these, the shops sell sovinour in the form of photograph and posters of Hemkunt Sahib , religious books , audio cassettes etc. It is through a line of such a colorful array of stalls and shops that the Gurdwara at Gobind Ghat can be approached.

Winding through the shops , the cobbled path leads to the Gurdwara complex which is spread along both of its sides .Past the Gurdwara , one reaches the suspension bridge that spans the river Alaknanda.
