The Kareri village is a beautiful Himalayan village, lying at a distance of 40km from Dharamshala in the Kangra District of Himachal Pradesh. Kareri village leads the way to Kareri Lake, a high-altitude freshwater glacial lake situated at a height of 2950m above sea level. In Kareri village, there is another village known as Nohli village, from where the Kareri Lake trek begins. The distance of the Kareri Lake trek is 10 kilometers one way, and the trekking grade is moderate to hard.
The best time to visit Kareri Lake is from starting March to the end of June. During this period, the trek is covered with a layer of snow, and the summit is adorned with glaciers. Kareri Lake gives birth to a beautiful river known as Niyund. The midpoint of the trek is Reoti. The Kareri Lake trek further leads to one of the world's most beautiful unexplored treks, known as the Seven Sister Lakes of Dhauladhar (a group of seven lakes together) through the well-known pass, Minkiani Pass.
The thick forest of deodar, oak, pine, and waterfalls along the way make this trek one of the most beautiful in the whole world.
