Roopkund Lake is one of the most mysterious places in India. This frozen lake which glorifies the beauty of the Himalayas, has a mystery story to it. The Roopkund Lake has a lot of traditional myths attached to it.
Roopkund has attracted attention because of the human skeletal remains that are visible at its bottom when the snow melts. Scientists have concluded that the skeletons of about 200 people discovered near the frozen lake belonged to the people of a 9th century Indian tribe who died due to a hailstorm. The skeletons were first found by a British forest guard in 1942. Initially, it was believed that the skeletons were those of Japanese soldiers who had died while crossing that route during World War II.
Alpine forests, green meadows, and snow-capped mountains are the specialities of the region.
