Roopkund

Roopkund is a remote Himalayan lake sitting at just over 5000 meters in altitude, set in the Uttarakhand region. It's best known for a deposit of skeletal remains that skirt the lake, which legend has it date to the 9th century, when a group of people perished here in a violent snowstorm. Getting here requires a healthy dose of ambition as well as plenty of time (usually about a week round trip), and it’s unwise to attempt it without a guide or as part of a group.
