General Information


About the trek


The 4778 m high Roopkund lake in the Chamoli District in Uttaranchal, is also known as the Mystery Lake for it contains still well preserved human and equine skeletal remains of over 300 people and animals, estimated to have perished in the lake over 500 years ago. Experts have put forward several theories to explain the findings but the mystery remains to be fully explained. The theories range from the local lore about a king's visit to the lake and the subsequent disaster that overtook the entire regime of the king at the lake about 550 years ago to the remains being those of the strugglers of General Zorawar Singh's army after his defeat at the hands of the Tibetan Army near Taklakot (Tibet) in 1842.

The Nanda Raj Jat, the pilgrimage trek every 12 years of about 280 km in August-September, unique to the people of Chamoli, has been passing through the Roopkund since the 19th century.

This trek can be started from either Ghat, 19 km from Nand Prayag or Debal of the Pindar River both being roadheads.
