The climb from Lohajung to Roopkund of over 8000 ft is spread over 3.5 days and the return over 1.5 days. The climb is gentle in some places and steep at some others. The micro-steps that we were taught by Arjun Majumdar of Indiahikes came in very handy for many of us, especially at the higher altitudes where the atmosphere becomes rarer.

Roopkund trek has been some experience!! It was one of those trips where I actually missed the hills, after I came back home.Being a first time trekker, the 5 day long trek was full of learning & new experiences in the wilderness. Every step that I took just made my belief of never giving up, even stronger.

From flower sprinkled meadows and gurgling brooks to snow blizzards and hailstorms, nature showed me its myriad faces. From its fury to its glory, it showed it all. An experience that humbled me and at the same time fulfilled me. A catharsis, a chrysalis, a genesis.

The Roopkund trek has given me the best and happiest experiences of my life to date, it has made me fall in love with the Himalayas. Words cant describe the views I got, or the feeling of crossing new terrain every day. Every day my mind was given a bath and a massage - leaving it completely rejuvenated at the end of the trek. On the physical front, i have a new confidence and know that my body is capable of much more than i thought. Especially the trek on the ice, this was most exciting.

This was going to be the longest day of the trek. As if the heavens had blessed us, the weather was crystal       clear.There were no clouds in the sight. We could clearly see Roopkund and beyond from our camp. We took off with a great determination to do Junargali, come-what-may. We marched on... Read the full blog

Saiganesh - Trekked to Roopkund in September 2009

This trek was done with a group of around twenty trekkers, managed by Indiahikes. The organizers were masters in this route and their team of guides, porters and cooks were the best one could possibly get. Without  the incredible help offered by these extremely professional hill men, especially at the high altitudes, the lake would not have been reachable for most of us.
