Kareri Lake Trek is a popular trekking destination located at an altitude of 11,220 feet in the Dhauladhar range near Dharamshala. Also known as Kumarwah Lake, this freshwater lake is a stunning sight to behold.
This high-altitude lake is a favorite among trekkers in the area, offering a serene and picturesque setting. During the winter months, the lake freezes over, only to thaw in the spring, serving as a source of water for a nearby stream. Kareri Lake also serves as a base for further trekking adventures into the Dhauladhar range, leading to destinations such as Chamba and Bharmour via Minkiani Pass (4250m) and Baleni Pass (3710m).
The trek to Kareri Lake is an ideal weekend getaway, offering a diverse and beautiful trail for outdoor enthusiasts. Along the way, trekkers will encounter a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and Shakti, perched on a hilltop overlooking the lake, adding a spiritual element to the journey.
Kareri Lake Highlights:-
We begin our trek after breakfast, embarking on the first day's journey of an 11km hike towards Kareri village, situated at an elevation of 2000m above sea level. The initial portion of the trek traverses undulating terrain until we reach Satobari Village, followed by a descent through pine forests leading to Ghere Village. The subsequent two hours involve an ascent to Kareri village, where we establish our camp beside the Laund River. We will spend the night in tents, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Himalayan landscape.
The upcoming 7 km trek from Kareri village to Reyot camp, situated at an altitude of 2600 m, is considered an easy to moderate hike with some steep descents. Reyot camp is a charming Himalayan hamlet nestled beside a stream that originates from the picturesque Kareri Lake. Participants will have the opportunity to spend the night in comfortable tents, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Himalayan landscape.
Today's trek of 6 kilometers will take us to the renowned Kareri Lake, situated at an elevation of 3100 meters above sea level. This pristine lake is fed by the melting snow of the majestic Dhauladhar Range and remains frozen from early December to March-April, making it a captivating sight for visitors. Additionally, a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and Shakti is perched on a hilltop, offering a breathtaking view of the lake. The scenery here is truly awe-inspiring! We will be spending the night in tents, surrounded by the beauty of nature.
After enjoying a delicious breakfast amidst the serene beauty of nature, we conclude our trek and make our way back to Kareri Village. Known for its picturesque landscapes and charming village atmosphere, Kareri Village offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Once in the village, we arrange for a cab to take us back to Dharamshala, a popular hill station known for its Tibetan culture and stunning mountain views. The journey back allows us to reflect on the amazing experiences we've had during our trek, from traversing through lush forests to encountering local wildlife. Overall, this trek has been both fulfilling and rejuvenating, leaving us with memories that will last a lifetime.

Adrienne W12 March 2024Manu is awesome! Manu is very generous, hospitable and helpful. We enjoyed his company and found him very easy to talk to and relate with.
Clare H7 March 2024A perfect day tailored just for us We had the most wonderful day with Sandip walking up from McCleodGanj and over the top and down into his own village where his mother most kindly made us a cup of tea in their family hut over a fire. We also saw a wedding party procession near a river. Sandip also took us past a dedicated prayer flag area in the woods. We saw the start of rhodendrons beginning to flower. A perfect day.

The food was great too.

Playing cricket at 3300metres was a highlight! Ranu's campsite was really lovely, incredible views and tasty, hearty food! Both Manu and Ranu took really good care of us and we'd really reccomend trekking with them, it's great value for money as well.
