3-Day Trek to Kareri Lake

This exciting 3-day trek to Kareri Lake begins at the quaint Kareri village. Trekking alongside the Niyund stream, you'll catch riveting views of the Dhauladar mountain ranges. Upon reaching Kareri Lake, you'll also visit the temple of Lord Shiva, located on a hilltop overlooking the still waters of the lake.

Since this trek takes you over relatively easy terrain with patches of strenuous climbs, it is ideal for fit beginners as well as experienced trekkers.

IMPORTANT: Please note that a minimum of 2 travellers are required to book this trek.

Destination

Located at an altitude of 9,600 feet, the Kareri Lake is a shallow, freshwater lake in the Dhauladar mountain ranges. Fed by melting glaciers, the lake remains frozen in the months of winter. As the seasons turn to summer, the ice melts to form the vast Kareri Lake. A small stream called Niyund flows from the lake and continues downward towards McLeod Ganj.
