For many years, Roopkund has hele the attention of trekkers because of the bones and skeletons that can be seen in its waters. The mystery of the same has just been solved by a team from National Geographic. The lake has attracted a number of people over the years. Every twelve years thousands of devout pilgrims undertake a difficult trek to the lake from Nauti village near Karnaprayag. The pilgrims are said to be led by a mysterious four-horned ram which takes them through Roop Kund to the shrine of Nanda Devi, where it then disappears. The pilgrims carry a golden idol of the goddess, Nanda Devi, on a silver palanquin.

The trek by itself takes one through some of the best terrain in the Garhwal Himalayas, with one passing through thick forest, undulating meadows, towering peaks, etc. On this trek, you would go from Roopkund towards another fabulous destination – Kuari Pass. This trek is also known as Curzon’s Trail (named after the Indian Viceroy, Lord Curzon, who undertook this trek during his stay in India). The main attraction of this trek is the majestic views of the peaks of Nanda Devi, Hathi-Ghodi, Kamet, Dronagiri, etc. During the trek one would pass through pristine forests of Oak, Rhododendron and Deodar. The beauty of the region is best described by the famous explorer Eric Shipton, who said, “A vision of such beauty is worth a world of striving.”
