ROOPKUND TREKKING
	" MYSTERY LAKE " - ROOPKUND LAKE TREK This is a great trek to the mysterious and sacred Roopkund lake, covering the regions of Garhwal and Kumaon. The lake is rather shallow having a depth of about 2 meters with the edges covered with snow for most part of the year. This mysterious lake was famous in the early sixties because of the existence of more than 300 hundreds human and animal skeletons visible beneath the surface. Teams of anthropologists visited this site to establish facts about the remains thought to be over 500 years old, probably pilgrims en route to Homkund to pay homage to the goddess Nanda Devi, who were trapped by avalanches and snowstorms in the 14th century. Other theories hold that the skeletons are the remnants of an army of the Dogra general from Jammu, Zorawar Singh of Kashmir, coming back from a raid to Tibet in the 17th century. Enjoy superb views of the giants- Nandadevi and Trishul, as well as isolated villages and splendid meadows. The glorious view of the imposing eastern peaks of the Garhwal Himalayas is unforgettably enchanting. They appear so close with their grand glittering snowcaps that on feel like almost touching them Kund means "Pond" in Hindi. The pond is at around a height of 5300 m, set beneath the towering summit of Trisul (7120m).
