It is said that the pilgrims first saw them, once in 12 years they visited the sacred place called Homkund. Their path lies along the shore of Lake Roopkund. The researchers could reach the inaccessible place only in 1942.Rumors about the skeletons were confirmed.

Their approximate age ranges from 500 to 800 years. After gene analysis of the remains, it turned out that most of them belong to men.
