May is not the right time to trek Roopkund as beyond Baguabasa, it would be heavily snow bound.

The topography of the Baguabasa-Roopkund region is such that the weather can turn hostile anytime of the day which makes snow trek risky.

If I go by the success rate of some of the trekkers, months of June and September seem to be right time for this trek.

You may require 7-8 days for Lohajung-Roopkund-Lohajung trek depending upon the weather conditions.

The cost of trek will depend upon the number of persons in the trekking group and the agency you intend to pick up. If you arrange through a guide, the cost may be lower than that of the agency.

As ronsaik said, please go through Roopkund in detail and explained
