Skeleton Lake of Roopkund

Skeleton Lake of Roopkund is located on a high altitude in Uttrakhand, India and is famous for hundreds of human skeletons lying on the edge of the lake. Every year, when the snow melts, one can see hundreds of scattered skulls. Scientists have now found out that the skeletons were of pilgrims and locals as the bodies dated to around 850 AD.
