Q1Where is the famous Sikh shrine Hemkund Sahib located?
Explanation
Hemkund Sahib is a well-known Sikh pilgrimage site in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, near the Valley of Flowers region. That location makes Garhwal Himalayas the correct match. The Kumaon Himalayas form another major part of Uttarakhand, but Hemkund Sahib is not placed there. The Sikkim Himalayas lie much farther east and are unrelated to this shrine. The Zanskar Himalayas are in the Ladakh region, so they do not fit the location of Hemkund Sahib.
