ITINERARY

Overview

Roopkund Trek or the 'Skeleton Lake Trek' is a thrilling high-altitude adventure through the breathtaking landscapes of Uttarakhand. The trail takes you from lush forests and peaceful villages to expansive alpine meadows, dramatic mountain ridges, and the stunning Bedni Bugyal, one of the most beautiful high-altitude meadows in the Himalayas. As you climb higher, the scenery transforms into rugged terrain surrounded by towering Himalayan peaks, eventually leading to the mysterious Roopkund Lake, famously known as the “Skeleton Lake” due to the hundreds of human skeletons discovered in and around the lakebed, believed to be ancient remains that become visible when the ice melts. This eerie yet fascinating discovery is what gives the lake its name and makes it one of the most intriguing spots in the Himalayas. Along the journey, experience changing landscapes, crisp mountain air, challenging ascents, star-filled skies, and the raw beauty of the Himalayas—making Roopkund a memorable expedition for adventure seekers.
