Roopkund lake (5029 m) is a picturesque and beautiful tourist destination, located near the base of two Himalayan peaks: Trisul (7120 metre) and Nandghungti (6310 metre). This place is famous and well-known among the masses because of the annual Raj Jat yatra.

One has to undertake a 3 day trek to reach the skeleton lake starting from Wan. The skeleton lake is covered with ice for most of the time during the year. However, the journey to Roopkund is an enjoyable experience. All along the way one is surrounded by mountain ranges from all the sides. Generally, trekkers and adventurers travel till Wan by road. From there they climb a hillock and the next camping spot is at Bedni Bugyal which is 13 km from Wan. There is a huge grazing ground for mules, horses and sheeps. There are two temples and a small lake that add to the beauty of this place. One can see a lot of Himalayan peaks from Bedni Bugyal.

Trekkers then go up to Bhagubasa which is 11 km from Bedni Bugyal. The climate at Bhagubasa is hostile for most of the time of the year. One gets a closer view of Mt. Trisul and other peaks.

From Bhagubasa trekkers either go to Roopkund and come back or they go to Shila Samundra (Ocean of Mountains) and then proceed with trek upto Homkund. At Roopkund, one can find a frozen lake during September/Oct. Most people get sun burns. One can see the clouds below and a clear sky above. One has to walk through a snow covered, slippery ridge to reach Zoravar Gali at 5348 m to get an unobstructed view of Trisul and Nand Ghungti peaks.
