About the Trek

The Roopkund Trek is a well-known high-altitude trek in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, famous for its glacial lake at an elevation of nearly 16,000 ft. The trek takes you through dense forests, wide alpine meadows, and rocky mountain trails before reaching Roopkund Lake, often called the Mystery Lake.

Starting from the base village of Lohajung, the trail passes through traditional Himalayan villages like Didna, open meadows such as Ali Bugyal and Bedni Bugyal, and high-altitude camps including Bhagwabasa. As the trek progresses, the terrain gradually changes from forested paths to alpine landscapes with limited vegetation.

Roopkund is suitable for trekkers with good fitness levels and prior trekking experience. It involves long walking days, steady altitude gain, and cold conditions at higher camps, making it a rewarding but challenging Himalayan trek.
