It is located in the Himalayas at an elevation of over 15,200 ft (4,600 m) in Uttarakhand state of India, and accessible only by foot from Govindghat on Rishikesh-Badrinath highway.

Hemkund is situated at an altitude of 4329m, surrounded by seven huge now-covered mountains, which are collectively called Hemkund Parvat. Close to the lake is a sacred Sri Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara dedicated to Guru Govind Singh (the Tenth Guru of the Sikhs) who meditated on the very banks of this lake.
