Kareri Lake is located at the height of 2,950 m in the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh. It is a freshwater lake located in the Dhauladhar Range amidst mountains and greenery.
The Kareri trek is favourite among nature lovers and shutterbugs who want to spend time in nature while taking their best shots. It offers breathtaking views and lush ranges and takes you through pine forests, oak forests and rocky grasslands.
Most backpackers visiting Himachal Pradesh visit the Indrahar Pass or Triund circuits. However, a shorter trek to Kareri Lake offers a more luxurious and tranquil experience. It is especially attractive in winter when the lake freezes and has a feeling of calm. For nature lovers, a trip to Kareri Lake is worth it.
Kareri Trek is considered as a great weekend getaway for those who want to experience a unique adventure in a short time. You will start your trek to Kareri Lake from Delhi. You'll be driven to Kareri village. As you climb, the flora changes. The trek will take you through oak and pine forests before gradually transforming into grasslands and you will cross a few streams of water along the way. You'll be captivated by the reflections of the Dhauladhar ranges on Kareri Lake once you reach the top.
Best time
The best time to do the Kareri Lake trek is the summer season, i.e., from May to July and September to November. The snow on the trail has disappeared by May, and the landscape features spellbinding lush greenery.
