Roopkund - Adventurous Trek to Solitude


Roopkund Trek has got everything – forests, rivers, meadows, snow, all the ingredients of the nature. This glacier lake is famous due to more than 500 human skeletons that are found at the edge of the lake and that's the mystery  which remains unsolved till date.


Thanks Arun Skariah for sharing these amazing pics :) This is his second trip to the Himalayas.

You can find these small religious structures the whole way. As you climb higher, the deities are replaced with just snow....
