How Would You Like to Experience Roopkund?
There isn't one right way to do Roopkund. Some trekkers prefer joining a small group on a planned departure. Others want the journey shaped around their own dates, pace or preferences. We offer both.
Join a Fixed Departure
Best suited for you if- ✓You're travelling solo, as a couple, or with a small number of friends.
- ✓You're happy to join a small group of other trekkers.
- ✓One of Yeti's planned departure dates works for you.
- ✓You prefer the route, stays and logistics to already be thoughtfully planned.
- ✓You're looking for the more economical way to do it. Shared logistics generally make fixed departures more cost-efficient than a customised journey.
You join the journey. We take care of the rest.
Every departure is led by an experienced trek leader and kept to a comfortable group size — so even on a fixed date, it never feels crowded.
Customise Roopkund
Best suited for you if- ✓You want to travel on your own dates.
- ✓You want the pace, itinerary or number of days adjusted around you.
- ✓You have specific stay, comfort or travel preferences.
- ✓You want a more private/premium experience with your partner, family or friends.
- ✓You're a group of 2 or more and want the journey designed around your needs.
Tell us what you have in mind. We'll shape the journey around you.
Custom doesn't mean you need a large group. Even if there are just two of you, we can design the journey around how you want to experience Roopkund.
Roopkund Trek is one of Uttarakhand’s most iconic high-altitude treks, known for the mysterious Skeleton Lake (Roopkund) and the stunning alpine meadows of Bedni Bugyal and Ali Bugyal. The trail takes you through dense forests, charming mountain villages, vast meadows, snow-covered landscapes and rugged high-altitude terrain, with spectacular views of Trishul and Nanda Ghunti. The trek is considered difficult and is best suited for experienced trekkers, offering a perfect mix of adventure, dramatic Himalayan scenery and one of the most intriguing stories in the Indian Himalayas.
