Raktisar has been a pilgrimage route for the local inhabitants of the valley since time unknown. It is believed that it was lake of blood previously according to a local folklore. The color of water at the bed still has a reddish tinge. The lake was opened from one side in a flood in 2004. The folklore prevailing the valley tells at this place demon king Raktbeej was killed at this place by Goddess Durga whose blood then accumulated into a Red Lake. Locals still visit this place annually along with the chariots of their local deity. Besides the folklore this trail is a paradise to trekkers and explorers. This place is of recent discovery, has gained much of its glory after it was given Natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO status in 2014 on account of rugged geography and endemic natural flora and fauna. A lot of medicinal herbs are found in the valley which surely is a botanist delight. The trek end at Snout of Rakti Glacier which is over 500m huge wall of rock and ice.
