RoopKund Trek: Mysterious Lake of Skeletons 

Hello Guys ! My name is Pinkesh Rawat
I am here with my new video titled - "RoopKund Trek: Mysterious Lake of Skeletons"
In the winter of 1942, on the shores of a lake high in the Himalayas, a forest ranger came across hundreds of bones and skulls, some with flesh still on them. When the snow and ice melted that summer, many more were visible through the clear water, lying on the bottom. The lake, a glacial tarn called Roopkund, was more than sixteen thousand feet above sea level, an arduous five-day trek from human habitation, in a mountain cirque surrounded by snowfields and battered by storms. In the midst of the Second World War, British officials in India initially worried that the dead might be the remains of Japanese soldiers attempting a secret invasion. The apparent age of the bones quickly dispelled that idea. But what had happened to all these people? Why were they in the mountains, and when and how had they died?
I hope you enjoy this video of "RoopKund Trek: Mysterious Lake of Skeletons"
