In the far North of India, where the Himalayas punch their weight from the ground, legend tells of the voyage of an ancient king, Raja Jasdhaval.

The story says that during his reign long ago, he took his pregnant wife, their servants, and some dancers up to a mountain shrine. As they began their worship, a storm quickly formed and poured massive hailstones down on them, killing the entire party.

This supposedly happened around a small mountain pond tucked in the saddle of a Massif. This is the story of Roopkund Lake.
