ROOPKUND > HOMKUND

Situated at a height of 5029m,in the lap of Trishul Massif (7122m) - lies the glacial lake Roopkund also called
the mystery lake since human skeletons and remains of horses from the paleolithic age were found here.
The lake is surrounded by rock strewn glaciers and snow clad peaks. Every 12 years a great religious festival
takes place when thousands of pilgrims from the northern hill districts escort the golden image of Goddess
Nanda Devi esconced in a silver planquin to the rocky heights of the "Bugyals" (high altitude medows),
through the snow fields of Roopkund and ultimately to the shrine of Nanda Devi. The trek to Ali Bugyals
& Bedni Kund (4067M) passes through delightful alpine pasture lands and snow fields offering spectacular
views of Mt Neelkanth, Mt Chaukhamba, Mt Kedarnath, Mt Bhartiakunta, Mt Thalaysagar,Mt Jogin,
Gangotri group of peaks, and Mt Jonli, Mt Nanda Ghunti, Trishul group of peaks, Mt Mrigthuni and
Mt Maiktoli. Ali Bugyal is open grassland with undulating slopes studded with patches of forest.
With the advent of summers, the snows melts away and the flowers and herbs blossom
forth to carpet the Ali Bugyal in a riot of colour. Bedni Kund is the source for the River Neel Ganga.
