Roop Kund Trek UTTARANCHAL INDIA
Roopkund it is then, i dont know how i decided on this, definately the photos and the blogs on the internet (although there ar'nt too many) but i am not a trekking guy but this trek was fun and "tough".
I did not know the guys i was to head out with, met them through BCMT forum on the internet, the plan seemed good and they needed a partner, i jumped in. Such trips are difficult to plan, not in terms of logistics, but if you are going with "KNOWN" friends: not everyone is free, some have wives ,some tough jobs etc etc. and the window of the trek throughout the year is very small. June to September. And to reach Roopkund, is not gauranteed ... it all depends on how merciful the whether gods are at that point in time.
Roopkund is a tough trek, and the whether makes it tougher, we were prepared with an ice axe and rope. The guy who planned the trip was out at the last moment, thanks to the financial cricis in the US, yeah its a small world these days imagine the odds of that affecting my trek, and i was a bit uneasy, damm. When you are "part" of the plan you can only say ....damm ;-).
