Roopkund trek is more than just a trip. This high altitude Himalayan trek is truly a lifetime experience. Here, you’ll be welcomed by some of the most beautiful views of Mother Nature which very few lucky people witness in their lives.
Here, you also get to witness various shades of nature, which can astonish any human. For many of us, each and every trek in the Himalayas in introduces us a whole set of new things that can be a life changing event every time.
Roopkund Lake is best under the shades of yellow sun when it sparkles a lot.
Birds, insects and lovely flowers celebrate the departure of dark clouds and sing welcome songs in respect of the rich new sky. Animals like mountain goats and mountain deer can all be seen in herds especially near to fresh filled waterholes.
The Roopkund Lake trek encloses in itself amazingly beautiful landscapes, serene ponds and some of the largest meadows of Garhwal. Human skeletons can be easily seen lying at the lake’s bottom during autumn season. Plus, the sight of Trishul and Nandaghunti peaks is worth seeing when on an adventurous Roopkund Lake Trek.
Commonly called as ‘Mystery Lake’, Roopkund Lake is located at an altitude of 5029 metres and nestles between Nanda Ghunti (6310 metres) and Trishul peak (7100 metres). It is named as Mystery Lake because some 30 years ago, nearly six hundred year old skeletons of human and horses were discovered here a renowned anthropologist D N Majumdar.
As per scientists, all these skeletons are either of the pilgrims who went to pilgrim from Rajat Yatra to Homekund, or are the remains of army of General Zorawar Singh who along with his army made a frivolous attempt to conquer the nation of Tibet, but wasn’t successful because of weather. The beautiful and mysterious lake attracts innumerous travellers from all around the world every year.
The Roopkund Lake Trek originates from Mandoli and completes at Ghat near Nand Prayag.
Best Times to Trek: April to June and September to October end.
