Roopkund Trek – Uttarakhand

                                                 

                      Roopkund Trek – Uttarakhand





A heaven for trekkers, but with a horrific twist as you head to the glacial Roopkund Lake. Yes, the path of this trek actually has hundreds of human skeletons scattered all over, especially near the edge of the lake. Now that’s what they call walking with the dead – a one of its own among all other adventure trips in India. With so many treks, Uttarakhand boasts as one of the best adventure sports destinations in India.


Roopkund is also known as "Skeleton Lake" because of the remains of over 500 human skeletons found at its bottom, dating back to the 9th century. Theories suggest that these skeletons belong to a group of travelers caught in a sudden hailstorm, killing them instantly. The harsh weather preserved the bones for centuries, adding to the lake’s mystery.
