About the trek
What to expect on this route
Roopkund has long been known for its high-altitude lake, Bedni Bugyal landscapes and the dramatic ascent towards Bhagwabasa.
Because access rules in sensitive high-altitude landscapes can change, Alpine Trek should confirm current forest and administration permissions before presenting any departure as bookable.
