The Hemkund Sahib Yatra 2024 is about to begin! Starting from May 25 and ending on Oct 10, this journey is special. People are getting ready to walk on the snowy path, which is now covered with snow up to 5 to 8 feet deep. Before the pilgrimage starts, the army will clear the way for everyone's safety.
This pilgrimage is important for many reasons. It's not just about walking; it's about feeling connected to something bigger. People are excited because the dates are confirmed, and they can plan their trip accordingly. Last year, a lot of people visited the shrine, and this year, even more are expected.
