A few things to consider while planning your trip to the Roopkund trek is the season, as trekking is not allowed throughout the year. The trek varies from moderate to difficult levels. The weather here changes within minutes and so the trek may be difficult at some levels.
Remember that weather is usually hostile most of the year, so tourists should be well-prepared and fully equipped for such conditions. One of the crucial points to note is that there is a ban on the Roopkund trek. Trekking is allowed, but camping is not allowed in the meadows.
