Kareri Lake trek is a beautiful trek with a freshwater high altitude tarn situated 2934 meters above sea level and a less explored trekking destination in the Dhauladhars. It is also known as the gateway to the Chamba Valley and shepherds opt for the Kareri-Minkiani Pass & Baleni Pass to cross over the Dhauladhars.
Kareri lake trek begins near a bridge after crossing the Kareri village. The beginning part of the trek is moderate but once you cross the stream you’ll find it pretty and serene. On the other side of the lake, there are a few Gaddi-kothis. From early December until March and April, the lake is frozen. The lake is a perfect getaway for extended weekend trekking.
