It’s India’s most popular hike for a reason
During high season each year, thousands of adventure-seekers pack their bags and converge on the enchanting trail of Roop Kund for what I can sincerely say is the trek of a lifetime.
No matter how bad your thighs are burning going up that mountain, the views never fail to leave a smile on every face as they make their way back down.
What about this trek is so adept at thrilling its visitors? How could it possibly satisfy every facet of what a trekker looks for in their journey.
It’s the complete package, I say, so let’s look at the five things that keep it that way.
1. High Altitude Meadows
Ali Bugyal and Bedni Bugyal, two of India’s largest highest-altitude meadows (and most beautiful, in my opinion), guide you gently to your second night’s tent camp at Bedni proper. Fittingly referred to as “Heaven’s Terrace,” Ali welcomes you out of the coniferous forest and treeline into stunning panoramic views of the two valleys below you on either side.
