Roopkund Trek
Ever heard of a lake that holds bones from long ago? The Roopkund trek leads you to a high lake with old human bones. You can see these bones right through the clear, cold water below. This path climbs up to 16,500 ft in the great hills. Snow peaks stand all around you at this grand height up here.
Your route moves through thick woods, soft grass lands, and hard rock trails. The well-known Ali and Bedni Bugyal fields lie on your path going up. This strange bone lake sets the Roopkund trek apart from all other walks. The sight of these old bones stays in your mind for years ahead.
This walk ranks from mid-level to hard and needs eight days to finish. May through June and September through October work best for this Roopkund trek. Bring thick warm gear and strong boots built for rough mountain ground.
