Nandan shares photos and notes from a trek to Roopkund.
You may want to do roopkund for a variety of reasons:
A) the folk lore associated with it is grand. It is said that Shiva and Parvati were on their way to Kailas –more scientifically Trishul I assume because google earth tells me it would be a waste of time, fuel and powers vested with Gods to take this aerial approach to Kailash-Mansarovar,–when Parvati wanted to cool it a bit and Shiva struck his trident to make a small pond for her to sip some water and the narcissist in her found the reflection in the water beautiful, so Roop-kund.
