In 1930, Havildar Sohan Singh was on a mission to locate this celestial lake. He was taken by the local villagers to a lake near the Valley of Flowers, then known as Lokpal.
Havildar Sohan Singh was so overwhelmed by the beauty of the lake and the images of snow peaks in the rippling waters, that he Immediately shouted “This is the Lake” referred to by Guru Govind Singh.
Seven snow-covered peaks surround Hemkundlake and their reflection in the bluish-green water is a picture to behold.As Guru Govind Singh is revered equally by the Sikhs and Hindus, this lake has today become a popular pilgrimage centre for both the communities.
