Roopkund, also known as the "Mystery Lake" or "Skeleton Lake," is a glacial lake located in the Uttarakhand state of India. Situated at an altitude of about 5,029 meters (16,499 feet) above sea level, Roopkund is nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas.
The lake is famous for the hundreds of human skeletons that can be seen at its bottom and along its shores. These skeletons, dating back to around the 9th century AD, have been a subject of fascination and mystery for decades. The exact origin and cause of the deaths of these individuals have puzzled researchers and historians.
Roopkund is a popular trekking destination, attracting adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers from all over the world. The trek to Roopkund starts from Lohajung and takes trekkers through dense forests, beautiful meadows, and challenging terrains.
