Trek Overview

The Roopkund Trek is one of the most fascinating high-altitude treks in India. Located in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, the trek leads to the mysterious Roopkund Lake, often called the “Skeleton Lake” due to the ancient human remains discovered at its edge.

At an altitude of 16,499 ft, the lake remains frozen for most of the year. When the snow melts, skeletal remains believed to be over a thousand years old become visible beneath the clear water. This mystery, combined with breathtaking landscapes, makes Roopkund one of the most sought-after Himalayan expeditions.

The journey takes you through dense oak and rhododendron forests, charming mountain villages, vast rolling meadows like Ali and Bedni Bugyal, and finally to a dramatic snow-covered summit landscape. The trek is physically demanding due to its steep climbs and high altitude, but the reward is a panoramic Himalayan view that includes Mt. Trishul and Nanda Ghunti.

This 6N/7D itinerary ensures proper acclimatization and a safe ascent to the lake.
