This trek introduces you to the beautiful alpine grasslands in the Dhauladhar Range. Kangra district in Himachal is known for its scenic natural vistas and is a famous destination for adventure activities like skiing, mountaineering, rock climbing, and trekking. The Kareri Lake Trek is one such short trek in the Kangra region. Throughout the trek, you will witness the beautiful alpine pasturelands of the Himalayan region, and spot some exotic Himalayan flora. Embraced beautifully by nature, Kareri Lake Trek is a great spot for shutterbugs to capture some amazing stills of Himalayan beauty.

If you are looking for an offbeat travel destination, this trek is a good option for you.

About The Trek

The Kareri Lake Trek starts near Dharamshala and traverses along with coniferous forests of Chir and Chilgoza pines. This is a great spot for bird watching and you may spot some native Himalayan avian species like the Blue Magpie. The forests eventually give way to rocky grasslands, a beautiful transition of vegetation zones. The lake is glacial in origin and as such lies close to the snowline.

Because of its beauty and approachability, Kareri Lake is quite a nice start for beginners. Your trek starts from Kareri Village from where you will trek to Liyoti campsite. The following day, you will hike to the Lake, relishing a nice campsite stay and watching the Lake reflect the sunset sky and the galaxy of stars at night, a surreal sight to behold. The following day, you will trek down to the Kareri village once again concluding your short weekend trek. Get to experience the picturesque beauty and catch a glimpse of traditional living in the mountains. The quaint environs of the trek will refresh and rejuvenate you thoroughly, melting all your stress away.

Our professional guides and trek leaders ensure that you have an incredible experience. Explore the spectacular beauty of Himachal with us and get a taste of the hospitality of the Himachali cult.

What Can You Expect At The Trek

The Kareri Lake trek kicks off at Kareri village via Lioti and finally ends at Kareri Lake. It rsquo s a short trek to the lake and with a basic fitness level, anybody can do this trek. The trek features sub-tropical forests and alpine grasslands, and you can have an incredible camping experience. The trek has stayed away from the touristy eyes for quite a long time and as such, you will get to see the untouched beauty of the Himalayan grasslands. From The Lake, you will get glimpses of the Dhauladhar Range, Indrahara Pass, and Mun Peak.

The first stretch of the trek is mostly a lot of steps laid out by locals for the convenience of walking. It is a 6 km trek that takes about 4 to 5 hrs to complete. The trail is a mixture of pine, cedar, and broadleaf. Mostly an ascending trail that becomes a little steep in parts. The next part of the trek is through boulders and grassy meadows, all the way to the trek. The ascent is gradual and easy, making for a fairly easy walk and you can appreciate the beauty all around. On the way back it is a gradual descent that becomes steep at parts.

Trek The Himalayas offers comfortable transportation from Dharamshala to Kareri village and back. We provide high-quality 3-person tents on a twin-sharing basis for your ease and comfort. Guided by an expert trek leader, you will get the most out of your experience.

We always recommend to go for the govt. Buses over the private ones outside the bus station as based on the experience we have found that there are very high chances of delay involved with private buses. Also, govt. Buses are always more reliable. Whichever bus you choose, just make sure to reach Dharamshala at least by 7-8 am positively.

In the unlikely event that TTH cancels a trek prior to the scheduled departure date:

While it is extremely rare for TTH to cancel a trek, we understand that unforeseen circumstances or natural disasters may occasionally require us to do so before the scheduled departure. These circumstances could include continuous rain or snow, thunderstorms, snowstorms, landslides, floods, earthquakes, or any other natural calamity that poses a risk to the safety of our trekkers. Additionally, unforeseeable events such as local riots, curfews, pandemics, lockdowns, government orders, or any similar situations that compromise the safety of the trekking experience may also necessitate a cancellation.
