Picture this – You are standing besides a lake at the height of 9625 ft. You see large glaciers melting into a natural lake. This is Kareri lake for you. The trek ascends the relatively remote trails through magnificent forests and secluded Hindu villages not yet connected to the road. This is also an ideal base from which to explore the upper ridges of the Dhauladhar to savor the views across the Kangra valley as well as glimpse the high peaks that extend beyond the Pir Panjal to the Himalayan Range.
Kareri lake trail goes besides a stream coming direct from the lake. For most of the trek you will follow the same stream.
The lake remains frozen from early December to March–April. There is a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and Shakti on a hilltop overlooking the lake. A few Gaddi kothis are present on the other side of the lake, an area which is used by the gaddis as a grazing ground for their animals. Kareri Lake serves as a base for trekking further into the Dhauladhar and onward to Chamba and Bharmour via the Minkiani Pass (4250m) and Baleni Pass (3710m).
