Roopkund, famously known as the “Mystery Lake,” is one of India’s most fascinating and adventurous treks. Nestled in the high-altitude region of Uttarakhand at an elevation of around 16,500 feet, this trek is best known for the skeletal remains that lie scattered around the frozen lake – a puzzle that has intrigued explorers and scientists alike.
The journey to Roopkund is more than just a trek; it’s an exploration of nature, culture, and history. Starting from the quaint village of Lohajung, the trail leads through dense oak and rhododendron forests, vast alpine meadows like Bedni Bugyal, and stunning campsites under starlit skies. As you climb higher, the terrain becomes rugged, with snow-covered paths and dramatic views of peaks like Trishul and Nanda Ghunti keeping you company.
One of the most surreal moments of the trek is reaching the glacial Roopkund Lake, which remains frozen for much of the year. During certain times, the melting ice reveals human bones and artifacts believed to date back over 1,000 years — sparking legends of a royal procession caught in a hailstorm.
The Roopkund Trek is moderately to highly challenging, demanding good physical fitness and acclimatization. But the sense of accomplishment, the captivating natural beauty, and the historical mystery make every step worth it.
