oopkund 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’. Various theories have been
proposed about the skeletons. One of them
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. 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. The highest Point is 4620m (Roop Kund).
Come to witness the mystery unfolds before
your eyes.
