The Unforgettable Trek ROOPKUND

Roopkund An unusual trek in the Higher Himalayas

"If  you are into trekking and hiking and haven't done the Roopkund trail, then you need to start planning for it right away.  It is one trek that is a must-do.

The Roopkund trek is one of the best treks in the Uttarakhand Himalayas. The trek is most famous for its views of the Greater Himalayan Range. Starting from  Didna village, the trek runs through the great Himalaya and merges into the southern ridge of Mount Trishul

Its got everything going for it.  Deep virgin forests, gurgling brooks, breath-taking campsites, miles of undulating meadows, snow and ice and the taste of a great adventure as you climb from 8,000ft to 16,000ft in 5 days"

The charms of the Himalaya along with its mysteries gradually unfold as trekker’s transverse through the dense forests of rhododendron and verdant landscape, through the miles of green-carpeted meadows and sleepy hamlets lost in time.

The worst of the climb is behind you. Leisurely walk your way to Bedni Bugyal, 5 kms away and a mildly descending trail initially. If you are tempted to take off your shoes and allow the feel of the carpet on your toes, just go ahead and do it!

Junargali was about 400 feet hight from Roopkund .It was a steep climb on the snow. junargali gave a spectacular View of  Trishul And Nanda ghungti Peaks .

The Roopkund Trek finish on the lape of Mount Trishul.
