Description

In the whispering entanglement of dark forests and treacherous mountains, Roopkund glacial lake derives an epilogue of any trekker’s excursion book. Famously known as Mystery Lake, Roopkund Hill is situated between Mount Trishul and Mount Nandagiri at a height 15,700 ft. in Uttarakhand. The place is often adorned with rock strewn glaciers and snow clad mountains making it a romantic destination for any nature lover.

In this 45 kms trekking trip spread across 5 days, you will begin the journey at height 7,000 ft. from a guest house in Wan village. The troop will pass through oak and Rhododendron forest and reach Ali Bugyal to walk on the zig zag trail and steep ascent. During this on foot journey, you will be mesmerized by the spectacular view of peak like Mount Trishul, Mount Nandagunti, Nilkantha & Chandrashila. You can set a camp at Beni Bugyal, situated at an altitude of 11,600 ft., The place is famous for the sunset and sunrise view and the amazing Bedni Kund. 

With an aim to reach Bhagwabasa (14,000 ft.), you must suit up for a difficult trail physically and mentally, as the snow trail starts after a certain height. Patar Nachuli and Kalu Vinayak temple are some famous place to visit in between. Set the camp in Bhagwabasa for evening and night stay.

The fourth day is to conquer the Rookund Lake amidst snowy sight and bumpy heartbeats. The surroundings of Roopkund Lake appears as an unimaginable heaven. You will start descending till Patar Nachuli where you can relax for the rest of the night. As you move down to Wan village, you can play a slideshow of last 3day memory while taking beautiful snaps of the Himalayan mountains covered in snow. At the end, you must spend some time with the local site in Wan village and collect a few souvenirs for your home.

Roopkund is an amazing place which is quite popular among tourists as well as locals. Among all the various treks available on the site, I chose this one as I wanted to visit the place since quite some time. It’s a lovely trek and the route will give you all the thrills you expect it to. While on the trek, we were provided with a healthy meal. Along with this, there were professional guides who told us about the place in great detail. They showed us the right path throughout and helped us whenever we needed them. All in all, it was a great experience along with my friends who loved it as well. It is for sure that for all my outings henceforth, I will be using Escape2Explore to book. The choice of packages that are offered in this site is amazing. Moreover, even the prices are economical so there are completely no hassles. more...
