  The 1200+ Km Bike Trip --- Day6- Ghangharia to Hemkund Sahib Hemkund Sahib : Ghangharia  to Hemkund Sahib : After relaxing on Day5, we were determined to start our trek towards Hemkund Sahib ASAP. We woke up early, got freshened up, had some Tea at the Langar Hall, deposited our luggage at the Cloak room (at the Gurudwara Sri Gobind Dham ) and then started the trek towards Hemkund Sahib at around 4:30 am in the morning. The trek from Ghangharia to Hemkund Sahib is a moderate to difficult trek, which would take anywhere between 4-6 hours depending on your speed.
