In 1942, a forest guard made a
chance sighting of about hundreds of human skeletons, on the banks of Roopkund.
At some specific time in the past, the snowy waters of Roopkund Lake melt to
unfold the sprinkled skeletal remnants of 200 humans. When this was discovered, various wooden artefacts,
iron spearheads, leather slippers and rings were found too. 
Yes, you heard it right
Roopkund, now called as Skeleton
lake due to hundreds of human skeletons found at the edge of the
lake. Skeleton Lake is a high altitude mountain glacial lake situated at
Chamoli district of Uttarakhand.
Many spiritual beliefs and scientific
theories have been forwarded, but who exactly were these people and where were
they headed to, the mystery continues.
As per the scientific researches,
these humans perished in this area around 1200 years back. Local legend believes that the skeletons belong to the
troupe of a king from Kannauj who was travelling with his pregnant wife and
servants, and died in a hailstorm at Roopkund.
From past many years, various groups of Indian and European scientists have not been able to resolve the mystery.
