Mystery Behind The Skeletons In Roopkund Lake
Recent research has shown that the skeletons don’t all come from one tragic event. Instead, they belong to different groups of people who died over 1000 years. This discovery, made by an international team( India, the US, and Germany) in 2019, rewrote the lake’s history.
But now, the lake itself is becoming the biggest mystery. Forest officials report that Roopkund Lake shrinking is happening in both depth and width each year. The culprit? Changing weather patterns!
The area usually gets a mix of snow and rain. Recently, there’s been more rain and less snow. This change is causing soil and rocks to slide into the lake, slowly filling it up.
Experts believe climate change might be behind these shifts as global temperatures rise.

Scientists and officials are worried about how quickly these changes are happening. They’re trying to find ways to protect these important natural sites but it isn’t easy. This means the future of glaciers and lakes remains uncertain.

“I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

“In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

“After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
