Kathgodam Railway Station is well connected to the major cities like New Delhi, Dehradun, Lucknow, Kanpur, Indore, and Kolkata. You can also get to Kathgodam via car.
A popular trekking destination, the trek to Roopkund is a beautiful trail that encompasses some of nature’s finest creations. Right from traversing rolling acres of open meadows to soft grasslands, and walking through forests of cedar and oak, each landscape is more beautiful than the last. But there is more to the Roopkund trek than just a pretty adventure.
Known for its dazzling glacial lake, the Roopkund trek also comes with an element of intrigue. The remains of over 100 human skeletons can be seen around the edge of this lake. Experts only recently discovered that these skeletons belonged to a group of travellers who were overtaken by a violent hailstorm many centuries ago.
Roopkund is located at a height of 16,500 feet in the Garhwal region of the Himalayas. You'll start your Roopkund trek from the charming small town of Kathgodam, onwards to Lohajung, Didna Village, Ali Bugyal, Pathar Nachauni and Bhagwabasa before reaching the mesmerizing glacial Roopkund Lake. You'll see your trail transform from soil to snow as you climb down. En route your journey you will also bypass many other scenic locations such as the Ghora Lotani, the Kalu Vinayak temple and the peaks of Mount Trishul and Nanda Ghanti.
