The lake of Hem Kund Sahib at 4330 m, however, has been associated with the 10th Guru, Govind Singh. A new gurudwara on the lakeside marks where Govind Singh meditated in an earlier life, surrounded by seven snowy peaks. Building the gurudwara took many years because the season is so shorat and all the materials had to be transported up there. Enter into the spirit of thins with a holy dip in the lake. Considerately, they break the ice for you, and hot, sweet tea (free) afterwards aids recovery.
