Hemakund Sahib Yatra 2025: The journey to Hemkund Sahib, a holy place situated in the high mountains of Uttarakhand, has started. Every year lakhs of devotees reach here, but this journey is not considered easy. Being located at an altitude of about 15,000 feet above sea level, the way here is tiring and the weather changes frequently. In such a situation, if you are also thinking of going to Hemkund Sahib this time, then keeping some important things with you can prove to be very beneficial. This will not only save you from trouble but will also make Darshan comfortable.

Let us know, what are the 5 things that must be in your bag while going on Hemkund Sahib Yatra.
1. Clothes to avoid cold
The height of Hemkund Sahib is such that it feels cold here even in summer. That is why before leaving on the journey, keep thick clothes in your bag. Keep a hat, gloves, warm socks, and a light jacket or sweater with you. These things will give you relief from the cold wind at height.
2. Folding stick and torch
Walking on mountain paths is not easy. At many places the paths are slippery, so keep a stick with you which can be folded and kept in the bag. This will provide support while climbing. Also keep a torch with you, because sometimes it becomes dark even during the day when the weather is bad.
3. Light food items
It takes time to cover the entire path. In such a situation, it is natural to feel hungry. Keep some things like dry fruits, energy bars, or biscuits in the bag. Keep in mind that use them only when nothing is available around. These things will be very useful for you in an emergency.
4. Medicine and first aid kit
Problems like shortness of breath, fatigue, and headache are common at high altitudes. So keep painkillers, balms, bandages, and necessary medicines with you. If there is an elderly person or a child with you, then take special care of their medicines.
5. Right shoes and slippers
The most important thing in a journey is the comfort of the feet. Wear shoes that are strong, waterproof, and do not cause pain in the feet even after walking a lot. Keep a pair of slippers with you, so that you can take off the shoes while resting at some place.

Some more important things
- Before setting out on the journey, get your health checked.
- If elderly people are with you, walk slowly and give them more rest.
- Keep a raincoat and umbrella, because one cannot tell when it will rain at high altitudes.
- Hemkund Sahib is a holy place, so it is important to follow the rules there.
