The Himalayan region is blessed with several gorgeous high altitude lakes. But the one which catches the maximum attention is the Roopkund Lake, gorgeous, and shrouded in mystery. The lake is situated at a height of about 5,000 meters above sea level in Uttaranchal’s Chamoli District. During the summer season, when the ice melts in the lake, you can see several hundred corpses floating in the lake.

The
skeletons of the corpses have been well preserved because f the cold
climatic conditions. Scientific evidence suggests that the corpses date
back to around 12th century, but nobody knows the real story behind the
mass deaths. Roopkund Lake is probably the only place on earth which
continues to be beautiful despite the presence of about hundred
skeletons.
