Kareri Lake is a beautiful crystal clear shallow freshwater lake in between the Dhauladhar range. Its surface is 2934 meters above sea level.
How to reach-
You can take a bus from Delhi or Chandigarh to Dharamshala. Then take some rest in Dharamshala and have some food. Dharamshala is the nearest city from Kareri Lake which is approx 60 KM. Then take a bus to Ghera village you have to hire a taxi from Ghera village to Kareri village there is no other way to reach Kareri village. Ask the taxi driver to leave you at the bridge.
It is approx. 13 KM trek, which starts from the bridge to Kareri lake. If you are a beginner trekker then it will take approx 7 hours to reach the lake. The trek is quite difficult and has so many ups and downs. I suggest you start early and try to reach the lakeside by 5-6 p.m.
Stay and Food-
Tents are easily available in the lakeside shops. You can find small stalls on the trek and there are only 4-5 shops near the lake.
