Roopkund is situated at a height of 5029m in the
lap of Trishul massif. It is also known as
Mystery Lake since human skeletons and remains
of horses were found here. The lake which is
surrounded by rock strewn glaciers and snow clad
peaks is magnificent and enchanting. The mystery
lake of Roopkund has brought here many travellers
since the discovery of human skeletons in the
lake and the glacier descending into it. For many
years the origin of the skeletons remained a
mystery. Some thought it to be the remains of
General Zorawar's Army that lost its way while
returning from Tibet.
