Summiters Adventures

Roopkund is situated in Chamoli district of Garhwal at a height of 5029m and is set beneath the towering summit on the lap of Trishul massif (7120m). Here you can find over 300 mysterious human skeletons and remains of horses which are more than 500 years old, hence this area is usually referred to as the ‘mystery lake’. The lake is surrounded by rock-strewn glaciers and snow clad white peaks. The trek of Roopkund passes through lush green grassy lands and coniferous forests clinging onto the slopes of hills. The trek thereafter winds its way along the Pindar River. Various theories have been proposed about to the calamity which must have deposited them here. One of it goes as a group of pilgrims en route to Hemkund to worship Nanda Devi, lost their footing and tumbled down to the icy depths of the lake. This reminder of these long-dead pilgrims presents a rather macabre spectacle, the grim and gruesome atmosphere enhanced by the desolate nature of the landscape. The highest Point is 4620m (Roop Kund).Come to witness the mystery unfolds before your eyes.
