Roopkund is a high-altitude glacial lake located in the Himalayas in the state of Uttarakhand, India. It is famous for the hundreds of ancient human skeletons found at its edge, giving it the nickname “Skeleton Lake”.

Roopkund lake, known for its mysterious skeletal remains, is situated in Uttarakhand, India.

The lake is typically frozen for most of the year and is a popular trekking destination. Scientific studies suggest the skeletons belong to people who died in a sudden, severe hailstorm around 850 AD, although recent DNA studies have revealed multiple distinct groups died at different times over several centuries.
