Just close to this sacred lake is the world highest Gurudwara called the Hemkunt Sahib Gurudwara. This star shaped structure of stone and concrete masonry situated on the shores of Hemkunt Lake is of great significance to the sikh community and millions have made a pilgrimage risking their lives to visit this important site where their Guru Gobind Singh Ji once meditated for years finally leaving his earthly form to unite with the almighty.
