Roopkund Trek is one of Uttarakhand's most iconic high-altitude adventures, located at an elevation of 4,800 meters (15,748 ft) in the Chamoli district. Famous as the mysterious Skeleton Lake, Roopkund is renowned for the ancient human skeletal remains that emerge around its glacial shores during the summer snowmelt. The scenic trail passes through the breathtaking Ali Bugyal and Bedni Bugyal, two of the largest and most beautiful alpine meadows in the Himalayas, offering spectacular views of Mt. Trishul and Nanda Ghunti. However, since 2018, the classic Roopkund Trek route has remained closed following a Uttarakhand High Court order prohibiting overnight camping on the fragile bugyals (high-altitude meadows) to protect their delicate ecosystem.
